Start date Business Type City Address

Source: Hamilton County Clerk public business lookup, filings dated Oct 29, 2025 – Oct 29, 2026 (closed accounts removed). Updated daily. Addresses geocoded with the U.S. Census Geocoder; city boundaries from Census TIGER. Points marked "approx." are placed at their ZIP code center because the street address didn't match.

How to read it: Business type is assigned from each filer's free-text product description, so some calls are judgment. The clerk record lists two addresses; the map uses the local street address (often the owner/location block) and skips P.O. boxes. Filings with no local street address are in the table but not on the map. Neighboring counties don't publish comparable data, so this covers Hamilton County only.

Privacy: Owner names are not shown. Businesses that appear to be run from a residence (the business and owner addresses match, or the address is an apartment or unit) show only the street name, and their dots are placed to within about 100 meters.
