Our Members represent businesses small to large- that is what makes us such a great resource. No matter their size, each business is an important part of our communities.

Here are some interesting statistics about small business from the SBA. 

• Small businesses account for 99.7% of all businesses in the US.
• Small businesses accounted for 64% of new jobs created in the U.S. between 1993 and 2011

Small Business Stats from Other Sources

• Small businesses donate 250% more than larger businesses to non-profits and community causes (Source: Seattle Good Business Network).
• If you spend $100 at a local business, roughly $68 stays in your local economy. If you spend the same are a large business, only $43 stays in the local economy (Source: Civic Economics Study in Grand Rapids, Michigan).

Small Business Saturday is on November 25th- less than 2 weeks away.Need holiday presents? Need your car serviced? Need a will or estate planning help? Need to check insurance costs?

Take a moment and look at our directory, then call them first. Better yet, go shopping with friends on Main Street, in Glyndon, in our two fabulous Owings Mills centers- Foundry Row and Metro Center as well as other area locations.

Happy Shopping!

Mammathon
Thursday, November 16th
All Day

The Mammothon is a one-day breast screening event that aims to reduce some of the obstacles to regular screening by offering extended hours.
If you are a woman 40 years of age or older and it has been over a year since your last screening mammogram, or you have never had a mammogram, you should be screened for breast cancer. Women who are unable to attend the Mammothon are encouraged to make an appointment for a time that is convenient for them.
