Welcome to 3D Business
Businesses are an essential part of strong, safe, connected neighborhoods.
3D Business is an extension of 3D CAC’s community-based work designed to help businesses connect with government agencies, technical assistance, public-safety resources, commercial-space resources, financing opportunities, legal assistance, workforce support, and other services that can help them start, stay, grow, and succeed in Washington, DC.
Businesses often experience several issues at the same time.
A business owner may need help with licensing while also dealing with a public-space concern, searching for financing, navigating a lease, addressing neighborhood safety, or trying to determine which government agency can actually resolve a problem.
Agencies provide specialized expertise.
The community sees the whole picture.
3D CAC helps connect the two.
