### What this is

Anyone doing business in Seattle holds a business license tax certificate. The City publishes the active ones, with the legal name, the trade name, the NAICS activity and the start date. This site keeps the companies — names that carry Inc, LLC, Corp and the like — and makes them searchable by name, type and place.

### Who uses it

- **Suppliers and landlords** — is this company in the Seattle file, and since when?
- **Sales teams** — companies by type and place, and the newest ones.
- **Owners** — your own record as the source publishes it.

### What it is not

Not the City of Seattle, and not a certificate. Individuals and names without a company word are left out. “Active” is the City's status on the file date; it is not proof the business still operates.
