What this is

Anyone doing business in the City of Los Angeles registers with the Office of Finance for the business tax. The City publishes the list of active registrations. This site keeps the companies — names that carry Inc, LLC, Corp or the City's own corporation mark — and makes them searchable, with the activity, the start date at the location and the council district.

Who uses it

What it is not

Not the City of Los Angeles, and not a business tax registration certificate. Individuals and names without a company word are left out — more than half of the City's list. “Active” means the owner has not told the City the business stopped; it is not proof it still operates.
