Frequently Asked Questions

Can I search by trade instead of a company name? Yes. A keyword like coffee, tavern or tobacco matches license records across names and activity, so you can build a list of one kind of business.

Can I get only active licenses? Yes. Set the status filter to active to keep only issued and active licenses, or choose cancelled or revoked.

Can I limit results to a city or license type? Yes. Add one or more cities and one or more license types; the run keeps only records that match.

Am I charged for empty runs? No. You are only charged per real license record returned. A run that matches nothing costs nothing.
