Small Business Technical Assistance Grant Funding - 2022

Funding is available now for qualifying small manufacturers in California through the Small Business Technical Assistance Expansion Program (SBTAEP). This blog post explains funding criteria, and consulting and training services Manex can provide to help small manufacturers tackle unique manufacturing business challenges. Manex is the NIST Manufacturing Resource Center for the Greater Bay Area and Sacramento Valley. We are funded by the State of California, NIST MEP and client dollars.

There are four key qualifiers in our program:

  1. Manufacturers

  2. Max 75 Employees

  3. Minority, Woman or Veteran Owned

  4. If you are in a FEMA declared county requirement 3 on ownership does not apply.

Businesses in all other counties must be owned by a veteran, woman or minority (African American/Black, Asian, Native American or Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, or LatinX/Hispanic) and have under 75 employees.

Contact Manex for small manufacturing training and to find out if you quality for SBTAEP grant funds.
