Bureau County as a whole had 699 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,940 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Bureau County leans toward nondurable goods wholesalers (33 establishments, 3.3 times the national share). For them, restaurants, shops and institutions order by catalog, and the website should show the catalog, delivery routes and how to become a customer.
