Chesterfield County has about five times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 40 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit. The county also has a strong cluster of metal fabrication shops (16 establishments, 3.7 times the national share). Every one of them is a search away from a customer in Patrick.

• Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
• Cities and counties may impose a business license tax by ordinance, so check both the city and the county where the business operates; the standard license year runs from May 1 to April 30.
