New business leads for security, alarm and access control companies in Portland & Vancouver, WA

Cameras, alarms, access control and monitoring all go in while a space is being built out, and the security scope is often still open when the permit is filed. A tenant-improvement permit means a new occupant is fitting out a space; a new-building permit means a whole structure needs wiring; a new liquor license or health practice means a business with stock, cash or patient records to protect.

Launch Lookout pulls build-out and new-building permits from Portland Permitting & Development, Clark County and the City of Vancouver every day, plus new liquor licenses from the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission and new health practices from the federal NPI registry, and maps them around your shop.

The applicant on a permit is usually the general contractor or architect, and they hand out the security and access control work. Reach them while the walls are open. Bars, restaurants and clinics are a second route: an owner opening a new location needs monitoring, cameras and door access before the first customer arrives.
