Reading this page
“Based in” means the business address on the license list. It does not mean a company only works here, or that companies based elsewhere cannot. The two lists share no ID; companies are joined only on an identical registered name or where our company record ties both license numbers together, so “licensed on both sides” is a floor. Other cities, including Kansas City, Kansas, license separately, and their lists are not included.
