Small Business Opportunity Program (SBOP)

Small Business With a Bright Future

The Clark County Small Business Opportunity Program (SBOP) is designed to help small business owners increase their capacity to compete for government contracts. Small businesses that enroll in SBOP receive instruction, mentoring, coaching and relationship-building training. Many of our small business graduates have gained access to contract opportunities with local government entities, institutions of higher learning and private agencies.

The SBOP training curriculum is based on best business practices that have proven successful for hundreds of local small vendors.
