How to read this data
"New businesses" = accounts receiving their first-ever Chicago business license, excluding pop-up/transient permits. Counts are based on first-ever Chicago business licenses. A license is not an opening date — some businesses open weeks later, and some are already operating when the license is issued. Every count on this page comes from that same daily City of Chicago license feed.
