Why it matters

A dated inspection record is worth researching; it does not establish an opening date.

FOR SUPPLIERS & SERVICE PROVIDERS

Opening Radar

Reach new businesses
before they pick their vendors.

OpeningIQ checks new license applications, pre-opening inspections and new practice registrations every day, often weeks before opening day. For equipment suppliers, software providers, contractors, brokers and other vendors serving new businesses.

YOUR IDEA STAYS YOURS

Planning privately shouldn’t make you a lead.

Your private idea, proposed location, notes and checklist progress are not added to supplier intelligence. Supplier leads come only from public records. Calculator inputs are not saved.

A few things to know.

Are these confirmed business openings?

No. They’re early signs worth researching, and some turn out to be an existing business or a change of owner. Scores show how strong the evidence is, not the odds that a business opens.
