archSCAN, LLC Expansion and New Facility

Congratulations to archSCAN, LLC on their recent expansion and ribbon-cutting ceremony at their new location. They have been providing top-notch digitization and document management services to local, state, and federal government, hospitals, universities and school systems since 2002. 


In 2019 they moved into a 8,000 sq ft facility in  Columbia, MD and thanks to our  Catalyst VLT loan program they were able to move to a new 31,000 sq ft facility in 2024, in the Gateway District. This expansion allows them to hire more staff, process millions of documents monthly, and continue turning paper chaos into an orderly, user-friendly electronic product. 

Celebrating the Grand Opening of Advanced Dermal Health & Aesthetics

We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of Advanced Dermal Health & Aesthetics in Columbia. Their mission is to enhance natural beauty and boost self-confidence through superior non-surgical cosmetic procedures, skin health care and integrative medicine services. 


Their approach to aesthetic health is comprehensive, addressing not only surface appearance but also underlying factors such as skin health, nutrition and overall wellness. Educating clients about their skin health and the benefits of our offerings is a top priority.
