The Department of Development Services' Small Business Project Management (SBPM) Program has been supporting small businesses in their commercial real estate process.

In October 2023, 37 small business owners received a certificate of occupancy/written authorization to 'Open for Business' through the SBPM program.

This year, from January to October, 285 small business owners have started their businesses with the help of the SBPM program.

Mandi Spina, Director, Department of Development Services, emphasized the importance of understanding building regulations and terminology before signing a lease and offered the SBPM team's expertise to assist small business owners in setting up their businesses for success, early on in the process.

Over 2,093 small business owners and entrepreneurs have received services since the SBPM program first launched in October 2018.

The County recognizes real estate decisions are critical to businesses, not only from a financial perspective, but for the ability to attract customers, access a quality workforce, establish their brand, build community partnerships, and operate in a stable and predictable government environment. The Prince William County Board of County Supervisors adopted and funded an initiative to enhance the level of services for small business owners, startups, and entrepreneurs in FY2019. The Department spearheaded the initiative to improve entrepreneurs’ and small business owners’ experience within the County development process and launched the Small Business Project Management Program in October 2018. For this purpose, the County defined a small business that employs thirty-five or fewer employees. For more information call (703) 792-6930 or email DDS@pwcgov.org.
