Who you compete with in Monroe

• 8 site preparation contractors: the equipment you run, the kinds of jobs you take and a contact form for builders and owners.
• 32 insurance agencies: a page per type of coverage, the agents and a contact form that sends quote requests to your email.
• 9 hotels and motels: rooms, photos, location and a contact form, so travelers can compare you outside the booking apps.

Across Platte County, County Business Patterns counted 1,033 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 2,716 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Platte County has 2.4 times the national share of trucking companies: 51 of them in the 2023 count.
