According to a small business report from Prince William County’s Department of Development Services, 23 small businesses were approved to “open for business” in the county in June.

“The SBPM offers small business customers one-on-one support for the length of the project. A project manager will lay out all the required steps a customer must take in order to obtain permits and open for business,” Mandi Spina, director of the Department of Development Services, said. “Qualifications for the SBPM include business owners who are managing their own projects and businesses with 35 or fewer employees.”
