Our Company
“In every adversity lies the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” ~Napoleon Hill
Howard Corporate Centre, LLC was created to address an issue that is challenging for many business owners to overcome: the high cost of commercial office space.
This is a dilemma that our founder, LaTaunya “L.D.” Howard understands first-hand. As the former owner of a boutique financial consulting firm, LaTaunya did what many small businesses do to avoid paying office rent: she “faked it” by working out of her home or a public venue, such as a library or a coffee shop. But what LaTaunya soon realized is that while “faking it” seemed to be saving her money, it was actually costing her something: perceived credibility and legitimacy as a business owner.
This motivated LaTaunya to open Howard Corporate Centre, LLC, a serviced office space business that enables entrepreneurs to operate in a corporate, professional environment without breaking the bank. Our solutions include furnished private offices and meeting rooms, as well as ancillary business services to support business growth. Our plans are designed to be flexible and scalable as your business needs change.
Since its inception in 2012, Howard Corporate Centre, LLC’s mission has expanded to provide a more holistic portfolio of services to support business owners, including educational resources and traditional commercial real estate services.
We are woman-owned and certified by the Maryland Department of Transportation as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE)/Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)/Small Business Enterprise (SBE) as well as an Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE). We support a national and international clientele ranging from freelancers and startups to contractors and governmental entities.
Howard Corporate Centre, LLC is conveniently located near the intersection of Routes 1 and 198. We are approximately 10 miles from Greenbelt and Columbia, within 15 miles from Silver Spring, and approximately 20 miles from Annapolis, Baltimore and Washington, DC.
