How merchant services reps use this list
- Timing is everything. Most shops pick a payment setup in the weeks before they open. Once the terminal is on the counter, they rarely switch for a year.
- Walk in with the right hardware. A food truck wants tap-to-pay on a phone, a salon wants tips and booking, a repair shop wants invoicing. The industry tag tells you which.
- Go by town. The paid list gives you the business address, so you can plan a route through one town at a time.
- Skip mail drops. Registered-agent-only filings are already taken out of the paid list.
How these numbers work: every new LLC and corporation (including out-of-state companies newly registered in Idaho) whose principal address is in Kootenai County, counted by the date it was filed with the Idaho Secretary of State. County comes from the city (or ZIP) in the filing, so a few border towns can land in a neighboring county. 88 more filings listed a Kootenai County address that turned out to be only a registered agent's office or a mail drop. Those aren't counted here, the same way they're taken out of the paid list. Records start Oct 12, 2026, latest filing date Oct 22, 2026, updated Oct 23, 2026.
