The team at Nightly focuses on building a unique company culture, not talking about sales. Find out how the Missouri SBDC at Missouri State University & efactory helped them achieve their success. 👇👇👇
America's SBDC

Ask Nightly.cc co-founder Nathan Cole what he’s most proud of, and he won’t talk about revenue, expansion or the number of properties his company manages.

He’ll talk about people.

That answer says a lot about how Nightly became the company it is today. From a floating coworking membership at efactory to a growing team serving property owners and guests across multiple states, every stage of the journey has been shaped by relationships, trust and an intentional approach to growth.

Nathan calls it “going slow to go fast.”

In our latest blog, he shares why Nightly once turned away new business, how efactory interns became part of the team and why unforgettable guest experiences often begin with a strong company culture.

This is huge for small business owners!

“Today, we are protecting the people who make Missouri work — families, job creators, and small business owners — by cutting taxes, rolling back overreach, and eliminating costly mandates,” Kehoe, a Republican, said in a statement released after a private bill-signing ceremony.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has announced a major overhaul of its lending programs, ending the Biden-era expansion of “Mission Based” Community Advantage Loans. This move marks a return to stricter lending standards, tighter ownership requirements, and more robust identity verification for borrowers—aiming to restore financial integrity and ensure SBA-backed loans prioritize U.S. small businesses.

If you’re a small business owner seeking financing in 2025, expect more structure, transparency, and predictability from SBA programs. Stay informed about the new rules and get the support you need to thrive!
