PermitFlare turns permits, violations, licenses and public compliance records into researched fire-protection opportunities. Every delivery is current, evidence-backed, human-approved and exclusive.
Not more records.
More reasons to act.
Large databases make contractors do the expensive part: determine whether the record is current, relevant, reachable and actually worth pursuing.
Old filings, unrelated work and named incumbents consume sales time without creating a credible opening.
A phone number is not buying intent. PermitFlare connects outreach to a specific, time-sensitive public event.
When the same property reaches multiple contractors, speed replaces relevance and the prospect gets flooded.
Our workflow is deliberately harder than scraping a list. Each step removes uncertainty before a contractor spends time on outreach.
Monitor permits, violations, licenses, hearings and corroborating property records.
Group related activity into one property evidence timeline instead of isolated rows.
Apply freshness, intent, service-fit and contact rules, then require human approval.
Reserve the qualified opportunity for one contractor and retain delivery history.
Instead of asking you to trust a black-box score, PermitFlare shows the property timeline, why the opportunity passed, which services fit and what still needs verification.
Primary intent signal / original public record retained
Supporting project context / property address matched
Official website and public business route confirmed
A PermitFlare Quality Passport explains why an opportunity qualified, what evidence supports it and what remains uncertain. A score can never hide a failed gate.
Apply for the pilotEvery candidate retains the public source, event date and property timeline.
Hard scoring rules block stale, low-value and incumbent-owned work.
The need must map to work your fire-protection company actually performs.
A lawful outreach route is researched and linked to its evidence.
Automation nominates; a person approves or rejects every delivery.
One opportunity goes to one active contractor at a time.
PermitFlare currently focuses on Chicago commercial fire-protection demand. Expansion follows only after local inventory proves its quality.
Urgent compliance language and required corrective work
Project timing, system modifications and incumbent detection
New restaurants, occupancy changes and opening activity
Liquor and amusement filings that indicate pre-opening demand
Corroborating evidence that strengthens a property timeline
Qualified transfers and business changes used as supporting context
We qualify both sides of the match. A smaller, relevant territory is better than selling the same citywide feed to everyone.
Teams actively growing inspection, service, retrofit or installation work in Chicago and nearby service areas.
Contractors able to review evidence, personalize outreach and follow up without mass-dialing a raw list.
PermitFlare is not built for residential work, guaranteed-job claims, scraped contact resale or shared lead auctions.
No. Qualified opportunities are reserved for one active contractor at a time. PermitFlare does not create a bidding scrum around the same record.
No. Public records are filtered, grouped by property, scored, checked for freshness and reviewed before delivery. Evidence-only records can strengthen a timeline but cannot create a lead on their own.
The Chicago pilot is designed around extinguishers, kitchen suppression, fire alarms, sprinklers, emergency lighting and inspection-readiness work.
PermitFlare uses public municipal records and preserves the original evidence link. Contact routes must also include a public verification source.
Quality and local inventory determine delivery volume. PermitFlare does not pad a quota with weak records, and the pilot begins only after service and territory fit are reviewed.
No. PermitFlare identifies evidence-backed opportunities and improves timing and focus. Contractors remain responsible for lawful outreach, qualification, estimating and closing.
PermitFlare is opening a limited pilot for independent fire-protection contractors. Tell us what you service and where you work; we will evaluate fit before making a promise.
