Small Business Reserve Program Powers 15-Year Turnaround

Winsupply of Jessup, based in Jessup, Howard County, was trying to turn around a struggling business while figuring out how to reach new customers. The biggest hurdle was knowing how to access government, school, and institutional opportunities — and who to connect with.

DoSEM's outreach and Small Business Reserve (SBR) resources helped Winsupply connect with the right people, win new public-sector opportunities, and accelerate the company's turnaround. The results were significant: 4 jobs created, 250% revenue growth, and a business that hadn't been consistently profitable for roughly 15 years turned into a sustainably profitable, growing company serving multiple school districts, government agencies, and major institutions.

Outreach opened the doors, but we still had to walk through them, perform, and earn the business.
