State of Maryland Awards Booth Management Consulting Contract to Help Businesses Grow for a Second Time

The Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development has renewed a contract with Booth Management Consulting, LLC to continue assisting small and minority business owners with specialized services that they need in order to succeed and grow. These services, which can be quite expensive, will be provided free to qualified small business owners.

Over the next five years, the Department will pay Booth Management Consulting to provide assistance far beyond writing a basic business plan or applying for a loan. Booth Management will connect small business owners with experts who can provide guidance in web site development, patent applications, or technology enhancements.

“We’re excited that we will be able to continue our work assisting small businesses over the next five years,” says partner Phil Booth.  “This contract gives us tools to assist business owners in getting the services they need to grow and succeed.”

With small businesses making up a substantial portion of Maryland’s economy, the State recognizes a mandate for providing them with the assistance they need to succeed.

The Department currently provides some counseling services through the Maryland Small Business Development Center Network, a joint state and federal program with 22 offices throughout the state. However, its counselors lack the expertise and resources needed to solve the more complex and technical business issues.

The Development Center will continue to refer these clients to Booth Management. Department officials renewed this contract with Booth Management Consulting because of our past performance in assisting the Department in responding to the needs of small businesses.
