This is a count of establishments in Paradise'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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1-4 | 3 | 100.0% |
