Figures cover the ZIP codes the U.S. Postal Service assigns to Brisbane (94005). ZIP areas are not municipal boundaries: they can extend beyond city limits and are shared between neighbouring places. This is a count of establishments in Brisbane's ZIP codes, not a count of businesses inside its city limits.
Establishments by size
Employee-count distribution. For most buyers the businesses worth pursuing sit in the 5 to 49 range: large enough to have a manager and real systems, small enough to be owner-operated.
| Employees | Establishments | Share | Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | 3 | 100.0% |
Business size mix
Brisbane is more fragmented than California as a whole: a larger share of very small operators. Fragmented markets are where roll-ups are assembled, and where an owner nearing retirement has no obvious internal buyer.

What acquirers look at
Real estate frequently comes with the business, which transforms SBA financeability. Technician retention is the operational risk that sinks most first-time buyers.
