Basic Business Licenses
In order to operate legally in District of Columbia, most businesses must get a Basic Business License (BBL) from the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP). The Basic Business License (BBL) Program streamlines District of Columbia business licensing procedures. The BBL groups licenses by the type of business activity and regulatory approvals required.
