Discover the DC Green Book: Your key to unlocking billions in local government opportunities for small businesses in Washington DC.
The Small Business Opportunity Guide, affectionately known as the “DC Green Book,” is a valuable resource and a testament to the commitment of the District to support local entrepreneurs and small business owners. This comprehensive guide, with its rich history, has played a pivotal role in the growth and success of small businesses in the nation’s capital.
The DC Green Book owes its existence to the visionary leadership of Mayor Muriel Bowser, who recognized the vital role that small businesses play in fostering economic growth and creating job opportunities in the District of Columbia. In her tenure as Mayor, she made it a priority to empower local entrepreneurs and ensure they have the necessary tools and information to thrive in a competitive business environment.
Supported by the Department of Small and Local Business Development (DSLBD), the DC Green Book was created to serve as a one-stop resource for small business owners, startups, and aspiring entrepreneurs in the District of Columbia. DSLBD, under Mayor Bowser’s guidance, has played a crucial role in nurturing the growth of small businesses, promoting economic inclusion, and supporting the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem of the city.
More than 1.23B will be spent with DC Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) in FY 2024. Access the Green Book to learn how your business can access opportunities with DC agencies.
