Going through the CBE process was one of the best business development experiences I’vehad. The portal is seamless and makes every action item clear and accessible. The processgives you direction on which DC government office to go to in order to process each document,along with an understanding of why each document is needed. The staff at DSLBD wereinformative, supportive, and readily available to answer all of my questions. Gainingcertifications can be a daunting process for a small business owner. However, the CBE processis worth it not only for the amazing benefits of support, opportunities, and set-asides, but also togain a deeper understanding of who you are as a business owner and ensuring your businesspractices are conducive to growth.
