Take Your Business to the Next Level.

Small business owners are at the core of the American dream. Entrepreneurs often risk everything to start and grow a business. While challenges are ever present and most daunting at times, the sense of personal and professional achievement and satisfaction are the greatest rewards. The Entrepreneur Council of Frederick County (ECFC) was established to help local business owners succeed.

Why ECFC Matters

A healthy business climate contributes to a vibrant local economy by stabilizing the commercial base and balancing residential growth.  "When business is doing well, the whole county benefits with more jobs, increased tax revenue, greater resources, and manageable growth."
