Overview 

The Detroit Business Opportunity Program (DBOP) Business Register Dashboard is an interactive tool that helps users explore businesses certified through the City of Detroit. It allows agencies, contractors, businesses, and the public to search for certified businesses by location, industry, council district, ZIP Code, and certification type. The dashboard provides valuable insights into Detroit's certified business community while making it easier to identify qualified businesses for procurement, subcontracting, partnerships, and other business opportunities.

How Display Works

The dashboard is organized into five main sections that work together. Selecting filters or interacting with the map and charts automatically updates the information displayed throughout the dashboard.

• Filter Section
• Map Section
• Analytics & Charts
• Certified Business Register
• Application Status

Filter Section

Use the filters at the top of the dashboard to quickly narrow your search and locate businesses that meet your criteria.

Available filters include:

• Business Name
• Council District
• ZIP Code
• Industry 
• Certification Type 

The filters can be used individually or together to refine your results. The Information (ℹ️) icon which is located on top of the Industry Types filter provides certification abbreviations and additional information.

Map Section

The map provides a geographic overview of certified businesses across Detroit by ZIP Code. Darker shaded areas represent a higher concentration of certified businesses, while lighter shades indicate fewer businesses. Hover over a ZIP Code to view the ZIP code and their number of certified businesses in that ZIP code locality. Selecting a ZIP Code on the map automatically filters the entire dashboard, including the charts and Business Register.

Analytics & Charts

The charts provide a quick summary of the certified business registry and can also be used as interactive filters.

• Current Certified Businesses – Displays the total number of active certified businesses currently shown in the dashboard.
