Florence, MT is in Ravalli County, MT
Florence lies south of the Missoula County line, in Ravalli County. Missoula County figures do not describe it, and none appear on this page. Florence is a census-designated place covering about 0.77 square miles, and all of it falls inside ZIP 59833.
It does not work the other way round. Florence takes up just 0.5 percent of ZIP 59833's land, so the business counts below describe the whole Florence postal area, most of it outside the community itself (Census 2020 ZIP-to-place relationship file).
Several states have a town called Florence. When searching for local records, licenses or help, include Montana or Ravalli County in the search so the results are for the right one.

What a very small-employer ZIP means
With almost four in five employers under five people, most Florence-area businesses are owner-run with a handful of staff. Partners reviewing a file from a business that size lean heavily on bank statements and the owner's own credit, because there is less financial history to read.
Construction leads again: 45 employers, 84.4 percent of them very small. Machines and job-site vehicles are the usual funding question; equipment financing explains loans, leases and finance agreements.
