The Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, Business Resource Center is proud to partner with the DC Small Business Development Center Network.
On October 1, 2024, the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center will hold a free virtual legal clinic to help nonprofits and small businesses go over the legal requirements for starting up.
Pro bono attorneys will meet with you one-on-one and walk you through several questions regarding your organization's current status, in order to identity your next steps toward becoming a legal entity.
Entrepreneurs and aspiring small business owners can learn about different entity types and requirements for each, internal governing documents, registering and licensing their business in DC, and other necessary steps to get their business going.
Nonprofits can learn how to incorporate with DLCP, the process for obtaining 501(c)(3) status from the IRS, and early stage corporate governance best practices.
The legal clinic will only provide brief legal information, but your organization may request additional assistance from the D.C. Bar Pro Bono Center to follow up on legal issues identified in the course of the attorney consultation.
