How PBA Helps You Grow Your Business

PBA member Tanya Matthews, president and CEO of TMG Construction Corporation, says it well:

“People tell me that the Purcellville Business Association adds value to their business by providing a voice to the business community. PBA watches out for potential new regulations that could affect businesses (like architectural review standards that could be unreasonable, or new local taxes being proposed) and it takes a stand.

“It gives me a monthly place to go and meet other business owners and local officials so I can network for more work, meet potential new clients and develop more teaming opportunities. Best of all, I can pass out business cards and tell others about the services that my company offers.”
