SALT LAKE CITY, July 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Nav, a service that gives business owners the fastest, easiest and most trusted path to financing, opened another round of the company's Small Business Grant to help provide a U.S. small business owner access to capital needed to grow their business.

"An influx of capital can be life-changing for small businesses," shared Greg Ott, Nav CEO. "Over the last few months we've seen business owners pushed to the limit due to COVID, and now more than ever, business owners need capital to not only grow their business but overcome unprecedented hurdles. We've been proud to offer the Nav Small Business Grant for the last two years, and we're excited to be able to continue offering this opportunity to business owners."

In this round of the grant, Nav will be awarding two monetary prizes — a $10,000 grand prize and a second place grant of $5,000.

The Nav Small Business Grant is open to U.S.-based small businesses that have fewer than 99 employees and have been operating for six months or more. To enter, participants must complete the grant application process, which includes simple steps:

Signing up for a free Nav account
Sharing on their business' social media account a challenge they are experiencing and explaining how each prize amount will help them overcome a present hurdle
Providing direct links to the aforementioned social media posts

While it is not required, participants are highly encouraged to watch the videos of past winners like Three Tree Coffee, Junk Star Handcrafted Furniture and Running Dogs Brewery for inspiration on how to craft a winning entry.
