New business leads for low-voltage and IT providers in Portland & Vancouver, WA

A business that just registered, or just signed a lease, is choosing its internet, phones, computers and backups this month. That is when an IT provider is easiest to hire and hardest to replace later. A tenant-improvement permit means an office or clinic is being fitted out, with network cabling, Wi-Fi and equipment to plan while the walls are open; a new-building permit means a whole structure to wire; a new registration means a company with no IT provider yet.

Launch Lookout pulls new business registrations from the Oregon Secretary of State, new health practices from the federal NPI registry, and build-out and new-building permits from Portland Permitting & Development, Clark County and the City of Vancouver every day, and maps them around your office.

On a permit, the applicant is usually the general contractor, who awards the low-voltage cabling subcontract. Health practices are worth a closer look: a new clinic or dental office needs secure patient records, backups and support from its first day. For everyone else, a short note that names their street and offers a setup checklist is enough to start the conversation while the decisions are still open.
