Small
businesses are the base of a community’s
economic vitality. From the entrepreneurial energies of small businesses come
the countless goods and services that make our economy work. Depending upon
the precise definition, some 70% of businesses in the United States are small
businesses, and virtually all businesses start small. Yet, small businesses
face serious challenges compared to large, established firms. To help
encourage the growth of small businesses and foster the social and economic
benefits that they bring, Montgomery County, MD has created the
Local Small Business Reserve Program (LSBRP or Program).
Starting
January 1, 2006, all Montgomery
County Departments are required to set aside (with specified exceptions*), a
minimum of 10% of their annual procurement dollars for qualified local small
businesses. To meet this goal, each Department will designate specific work
exclusively for this Program. While the LSBRP will reserve certain contracts
for small businesses alone, local small businesses are encouraged to submit
offers on all County procurement opportunities for which they are qualified.

The
IJ Clinic on Entrepreneurship located at the University of Chicago Law School
grew from little more than an abstract idea of two enterprising U. of Chicago law students
returning from a public interest law conference to what it is today—a
fully operational public interest law office serving entry-level
entrepreneurs.
The IJ Clinic was the first transactional legal Clinic in the United States dedicated to helping
entrepreneurs of modest means form private sector businesses and navigate
through regulatory red tape, funded solely with private donations. See more
in law review article by Patricia H. Lee “Institute for Justice Clinic
on Entrepreneurship: A real world model in stimulating private enterprise in
the inner city,” 5 J. Small & Emerging Bus. L. 1.,
which discusses the formation of the opening of this university based clinic
on entrepreneurship.
