Local data gets old quickly. A useful Florida business record needs more than a name and city. It needs a source, a category rule, a location distinction, and the date somebody last checked it.

This specification keeps those maintenance fields visible beside the directory information.

Designed For

  • business category research
  • directory enrichment

Names are illustrative. Production records require a public source and verification date.

Collection And Preparation

  • Collect publicly available business records with source notes.
  • Normalize business categories, city names, county names, and website hosts.
  • Separate headquarters, service area, and physical location when the source supports the distinction.
  • Store a last-verified date because local business records change quickly.

Known Limits

  • Public business records can be incomplete or outdated.
  • A listed service area does not prove a staffed physical location.
  • Category assignments use a documented normalization table.
  • Illustrative rows do not identify real businesses.

Useful Applications

  • map business categories by place
  • compare local market coverage
  • enrich public directory records
  • review website and verification status

Change Log
