New in DC, week of October 19, 2026

63 new listings showed up in all eight DC wards the week of October 19, 2026, from DC basic business license records.

What this covers. New licenses at DC addresses, from all trades. We filter out rentals, salespeople and other non-storefronts, but some offices and home businesses remain. DC gives no forward date, so a license can arrive close to the first day of business.
