Dear Members,
On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Vienna-Tysons Regional Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank our members for their continued support. We would like to extend warm holiday greetings to all of our friends and extended family. Have a safe holiday season.
The VTRCC will host our annual Holiday Luncheon (sponsored by Goodman & Company) on Thursday, December 11 at the Tysons Corner Marriott. The Madison High School Madrigals will sing some holiday music for our enjoyment. As an added bonus for those members that attend, there will be a door prize from Boone and Sons Jewelers. This is a great gift for that special someone so make your reservations today!
In January we will be updating our sponsor list for the year. I would like to thank Northwest Federal Credit Union, Nautilus Communications, Inc., and Whole Foods Market®…Vienna for their 2003 sponsorship of the Web page and/or the Enterprise newsletter. For a $2500 investment, Enterprise and Web page sponsors will receive more than $3600 in advertising, marketing, and other Chamber perks. Several members have expressed interest, but please remember that our partners are selected on a first-come first-served basis. Don't delay; there are only four partnership opportunities to sponsor both the VTRCC Web page and the Enterprise.
While individual networking is an important way to meet other Chamber members, being publicized as a sponsor of a Chamber event is a quick and easy way to reach out to many members and nonmembers. From educators to economists, or from golfers to gamblers, Chamber activities include many different people. Where would you like to see your company's name? There are sponsorships available to reach many varied audiences and to suit almost any budget! Below is a list of our more popular sponsorship opportunities. Call the Chamber office for more information.
In order to grow our Chamber and implement programs of interest for our members, area businesses, and the community, I need your help. If you have any questions, suggestions, or ideas that you think the VTRCC should consider or if you would like to schedule a time to meet with me to discuss business concerns, please call 703-281-1333 or email me at gpowersjr@vtrcc.org. Remember that on Tuesday, December 23 the office will close at 12:00 noon for the holidays and will reopen on January 5.
Happy Holidays,
Francis Gary Powers, Jr., President

U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) –
-
Entrepreneurs project modest startup costs for most new ventures, according to a study released by the Office of Advocacy. Solo entrepreneurs expect median startup costs of $6,000, while the median cost expected by team ventures is $20,000. More than 80 percent of the entrepreneurs studied expected to cover their startup costs without bank loans, although on average they had saved only $2,000 towards that goal. The study also showed that optimism about their business potential underlies the entrepreneurs’ activities. On average, solo entrepreneurs believe they will have business income of $90,000 in the fifth year of their venture, while team ventures expect an income of $125,000 in the fifth year. The higher team venture projected income makes it more likely that such ventures will result in new job generation.

Small businesses with essential employees called to active duty may still apply for Military Reservist Economic Injury Disaster Loans from the U.S. Small Business Administration. For the last two years, the MREIDL program has provided loans to eligible small businesses to cover operating costs that cannot be met due to the loss of a key employee called to active duty in the reserves or National Guard. Small businesses may apply for MREIDLs of up to $1.5 million if they have been financially impacted by the loss of an essential employee. These working capital loans may be used to pay necessary operating expenses that could have otherwise been covered. The current interest rate is 3.1 percent, with a maximum term of 30 years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury, the term of each loan and the payment amount based on the borrower’s financial circumstances. The MREIDL filing period ends 90 days after the date the business owner or key employee is discharged from active duty. To download an application, visit the Web site at www.sba.gov/disaster. Businesses can also contact one of the four SBA disaster area offices to obtain an application. Call 1-800-659-2955 if you live in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia or West Virginia.

The U.S. Small Business Administration has increased its revenue-based size standard for small businesses in the facilities support services industry from $6 million in average annual receipts to $30 million. The new size standard will allow more companies to qualify for small business assistance and compete as a small business for federal contracts. Under the new rule, the sub-category of base maintenance will also increase from $23 million to $30 million. The change was the result of numerous requests from small businesses in the facilities support services industry. For additional information on the new size standard, visit the SBA’s Office of Size Standards Web page at www.sba.gov/size, and click on “What’s New?”
