Disclaimer

The numbers on this site count businesses that already exist. They do not measure customer demand, competition near you, costs, profit or what any owner earns. Nothing here is a promise or an estimate of income, and nothing here recommends starting, buying or avoiding any business.

Annual payroll shown on pages is wages paid by establishments before owner profit; it is not owner income. A rising count does not mean a trade is profitable, and a falling count does not mean it is not.

Starting a business involves licensing, insurance, tax and legal requirements that vary by place. Check these with the relevant authority or a qualified professional before you act. Do not rely on this site for a financial decision.
