Cass County as a whole had 5,988 employer establishments in 2023 and another 15,228 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Cass County has 1.6 times the national share of durable goods wholesalers: 262 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, trade buyers want catalogs and terms, so the website should show product lines, brands carried, service area and how to open an account. The county also has a strong cluster of recreation and amusement businesses (90 establishments, 1.4 times the national share). Most of these businesses are small, and the website does the job a front desk would do in a bigger company.
