Limits. Florida posts licenses 4 to 8 weeks late, so September will grow. Some rows are ownership changes, not new businesses. We label each one in the weekly file.
Homemaker and companion services are 91% of the Florida count. Home health is small and slow. For why that matters, see Registered is not licensed. For which states publish emails, see the field audit.
