At June 2025 the ABS counted 1,930 businesses in the statistical area that takes in both Minto and St Andrews, up 17.4% from 1,644 in 2021. Transport, postal and warehousing accounts for 467 of them and construction another 309. Nearly 63% have no employees, which suggests plenty of owner-drivers and solo tradies. For a one-person operation, the most useful online assets are usually a complete Google Business Profile and a lean site that makes calling or booking easy. The 181 businesses turning over $2 million or more tend to need more depth: fleet, compliance and coverage pages.
