Open the full listHow it works
A short list you can finish, every week
Tell us what you sell and where
Pick your service and your counties. Takes under a minute.
We watch the public records
Every day we check city licenses, permits, inspections and state filings, and keep the ones that are real, new businesses.
Work your list
Your best leads arrive Monday morning, with why each one matters and an intro you can copy. Mark them done and you're caught up.
The signs we watch for
Each lead is labeled with what actually happened, so you know how close it is to opening.
Weeks to months before opening
The city issued a permit for work on this commercial space, which usually means a new tenant is moving in.
Days to weeks before opening
Had a pre-opening inspection with the county health department, so it's about to open.
Opening now
Just got a city license to operate at this address, so it's opening now or very soon.
Just changed hands
The business changed owners (a change-of-ownership inspection or a new owner's license). New owners usually review every vendor.
Just registered
Filed a new company with the state.
Who it's for
Local sellers who win by showing up first
Card processing & POS
A brand-new shop has no processor to switch away from. Walk in with a plan before the big brands do.
Commercial insurance
Workers' comp at the first hire, liquor liability, and businesses that just changed owners.
Hood cleaning & fire protection
A new kitchen hood permit means a restaurant that will need service from day one.
Alarm & security
New storefronts and new owners pick a monitoring company in the first few weeks.
Also useful for payroll, signage, pest control, linen, food distributors, internet providers and bookkeepers.

Questions
Good to know
Where does the data come from?+
Public government records: City of Philadelphia business licenses, City of Pittsburgh building permits, Allegheny County Health Department inspections, and Pennsylvania Department of State business filings. Every lead links to its public record.
How fresh is it?+
City licenses and permits are checked every day, usually a day or two after they're issued. State filings arrive about a month after filing, and county inspection data runs a few months behind. Each lead shows exactly when the record happened.
Do you include phone numbers?+
Not yet. Showing a business's own phone and website (when it has a listing) is coming soon. We will never show personal cell numbers, and we don't sell calling or texting tools. Every lead has an address and the public record behind it.
Which areas do you cover?+
Philadelphia and the Pittsburgh area in depth, plus every new business filed anywhere in Pennsylvania. Washington DC and New York City are next.
How is this different from a list of new LLCs?+
Most new LLCs never open a storefront. We lead with signs that a real business is opening: city licenses, kitchen and fire-system permits, pre-opening health inspections. Then we tell you why each one matters and what to say.
Can I cancel?+
Yes, anytime. Plans are month to month (or annual with 2 months free). Cancel from your account and you won't be billed again.
Is it legal to use these records?+
Yes. These are public records the government publishes for anyone to use. We honor every request to correct or remove a business.
Will I need a call or a demo?+
No. Pick what you sell and where you work, and your list is ready. Questions? Email us any time.
