Three veteran-owned businesses plan to create a total of 75 new jobs with financial assistance from the Maryland Department of Commerce.

The companies include SRL Total Source, LLC, a Waldorf company that provides medical, cyber, and healthcare staffing services for federal government agencies; Samson Protection Services, LLC, an Upper Marlboro security and property protection startup specializing in executive protection, security officers, and investigating; and PLAYLive Nation-Annapolis, a family entertainment center that operates a gaming lounge for video game enthusiasts.
