Business Licenses issued by the City of Chicago's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection from January 1, 2002 to the present. The dataset is updated daily and contains records for initial issuance, renewals, and status changes. It includes business names, addresses, license terms, and geographic coordinates.
The dataset may be too large to view in standard spreadsheet software; the provider recommends exporting as CSV and viewing in a text editor. Owner information requires joining with a separate Business Owners dataset using account number or legal name.
