The businesses that compete for customers in Hawaiian Gardens

ZIP code 90716, mostly within Hawaiian Gardens, had 192 employer establishments in the 2023 count. Some of the businesses behind that number:

Across Los Angeles County, County Business Patterns counted 304,988 employer establishments in 2023, and the Nonemployer Statistics add 1,128,124 businesses with no payroll, most of them self-employed owners. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Los Angeles County leans toward performing arts and spectator sports businesses (19,156 establishments, about eight times the national share). For them, audiences look for schedules and tickets, and the website should show the schedule, venue information and how to buy tickets. The county also has a strong cluster of film, video and recording businesses (8,330 establishments, about eight times the national share). For any of them, a clear website is the difference between being compared and being skipped.

• Check with both Los Angeles County and the City of Hawaiian Gardens about local business tax receipts before opening. Official source
• A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
• A fictitious business name statement is filed with the county clerk, not the state: a for-profit business using a name other than the owner’s surname files in the county of its principal place of business. California Business and Professions Code section 17900 et seq.
