Which leads matter most for a cleaning company?

Build-out and new-building permits: a space is being prepared for a new occupant, so there is a post-construction clean to book and a recurring contract to win before the doors open.

How early does a build-out permit show up?

When the city or county records it, typically weeks to months before the space opens. We add each week's permits every Monday.

Do I get the business name?

Registrations carry the business name. On permits the applicant is usually the contractor or architect, so the address is the lead; subscribers see the full address and the original public record.

New business leads for commercial cleaners in Portland & Vancouver, WA

A cleaning contract is easiest to win before anyone else is in the building. A tenant-improvement permit means a space is being built out for a new occupant; a new-building permit means a whole structure is coming; and a new registration means a business exists on paper and has not picked its vendors yet.

Launch Lookout pulls all three from public records every Monday: build-out and new-construction permits from the City of Portland, Clark County and the City of Vancouver, and new business registrations from the Oregon Secretary of State. You set a radius around your base and see only what is close enough to service.

The useful move is timing. A build-out permit usually runs weeks to months before opening day, which is when the post-construction clean is booked and when an owner is deciding who will clean every week after that. A registration is earlier still; it is a reason to introduce yourself, not a job yet.
