A late fee of $50 per day will be assessed for any late payments beginning Tuesday, April 3, 2018. Late fees may not exceed the cost of the license.

CNHED is excited to launch the DC Small Business Help Workshop Calendar , a new monthly resource providing information about upcoming workshops and training opportunities available for start-ups, new and existing small businesses in the District.

CNHED is piloting this resource calendar in an effort to:

  • Coordinate and promote the myriad of trainings and workshops being offered to small businesses, and
  • Centralize the information in one place to make it easier for small businesses to find a resource event that’s just right for them

You can view the list of events being offered this month, which will be updated periodically with new events. If you don’t see a workshop or training event that addresses your particular need, we encourage you to visit the DCSmallBizHelp.com where you can identify and contact a small business support organization to assist you.

Let CNHED know if you’re interested in posting an upcoming workshop or training event for small businesses. Contact Evette Banfield if you’re interested in posting an upcoming workshop or training event for small businesses.
