Two ways to find new merchants

Catch the buildout and the business opening.

Payment-processing reps should not rely on one signal. Building permits tell you who is investing in a physical space. License and sales-tax records can catch new businesses preparing to sell even when there is no major construction permit.

Building permit signals

Best when a business is building out, remodeling, adding a counter, opening a restaurant, retail store, clinic, salon, office, showroom, or hospitality space.

Business license and sales tax signals

Best when a new business is registered, permitted to sell, or preparing to operate, even if there is no major construction permit.

Live merchant-fit inventory

Permit logic built for merchant-services reps.

This page now points to live, buyable inventory. The Payment Processing Radar pulls from current PermitPub permits and prioritizes businesses likely to need card acceptance, POS, merchant accounts, online ordering, invoicing, deposits, recurring payments, or front-desk workflows.

Sales manager note

The pitch is timing.

A new restaurant, office, clinic, salon, showroom, or retail operator does not wait until opening day to solve payments. They need terminals, pricing, deposits, tip flows, online ordering, gift cards, memberships, invoicing, and chargeback support while the space is still being built. That is your opening.

  1. Pick live markets. Start where PermitPub already has inventory.
  2. Filter by business type. Restaurants, retail, clinics, offices, salons, showrooms, hospitality, and tenant improvements first.
  3. Buy the exact leads. Unlock addresses and source links when the market looks worth working.
  4. Move before opening day. Walk in while the merchant is still choosing vendors.

Buy the right list

Do not buy every permit. Buy the ones that look like new merchants.

PermitPub keeps paid details locked until purchase, but this page now routes buyers into live, buyable inventory filtered for customer-facing businesses that need payments handled before opening day.
