Oregon Secretary of State · CCB · OLCC · Portland, Clackamas & Washington County permits

Oregon commercial records, filtered down to the ones worth calling.

New business registrations, building permits, contractor licences and liquor licences — published by the state and the city, free to anyone, and almost unusable as they ship. We collapse the duplicates, drop the shells and the out-of-state fronts, and hand you the rows a human would actually pick.

Fit score is ours, not the state’s. Every score ships with the reasons behind it, so any lead can be explained on request.

Method

Three steps, every day

Ingest

We pull each source the day it publishes and keep every raw row we have ever seen. The SOS file is one row per associated party, not per business, so a single LLC shows up four or five times — we collapse that into one record with the owner's name and the physical address attached.

Filter

Every business is classified by industry and scored on whether it's real: does it have a street address or a mailbox, is the registered agent the owner or a filing service, is there a named human on the record. Holding companies score at the bottom and never reach you.

Deliver

Registrations arrive as a monthly digest on the 4th. Permit and licence bundles arrive weekly, which is how fast those signals actually move — a bond 60 days from expiry loses nothing to a six-day wait, and a daily email would mostly be empty. Everything lands in the portal with the name, the address, and the reason it scored what it did.

Two products

Start with which question you're trying to answer

Everything clerks.io sells falls into one of two buckets. They are separate subscriptions — buying one does not include the other — and most people start with just one.

	New registrations	Business events
The question it answers	Who just started a business in my area?	What just happened to a business already operating here?
What's in it	Every new Oregon business registration, with holding companies, PO-box shells and out-of-state fronts removed. Owner name and street address included.	Bonds and liability policies about to expire, licences that lapsed or did not renew, building permits pulled, liquor licences applied for.
Coverage	One county, or all three.	All three counties, always.
Can a competitor get the same leads?	Not on an exclusive tier — you are the only firm in your industry for that county. That is what the higher price buys, not extra leads.	Yes. These are shared, and priced accordingly.
How often it arrives	Monthly, on the 4th.	Weekly, on Mondays.
Price	Free trial, then $99–$599/mo.	$149–$299/mo.

Product one

New registrations

15 of 15 exclusive slots open

Every business that registered with the Oregon Secretary of State, filtered down to the real ones. Sold by territory: the exclusive tiers mean no other firm in your industry receives the same county.

Exclusivity applies to new registrations only, and it is scoped to one county and one industry. If you hold Washington County for commercial insurance, no other insurance agent receives those leads — a bookkeeper still can, because they are not competing with you. Three counties times five industries means fifteen exclusive slots exist in total, ever.

Product two

Business events

A registration tells you a business exists. These tell you something just happened to it — a bond about to lapse, a licence that did not renew, a permit pulled last week. Each bundle groups every feed one kind of buyer would act on into a single weekly call list, metro-wide and shared. Counts are live and deduped, and they are the same rows your first digest would contain.

Commercial insurance agents, surety brokers

Insurance & bonding

$299/mo

Every contractor in the metro whose bond or liability policy is about to lapse, plus the ones who just registered and do not have coverage yet. One call list, refreshed weekly.

2,710leads · weekly

4 of 5 feeds live today; the rest are still building history.

Suppliers, subcontractors, equipment finance, trade services

Construction & trades

$299/mo

Permits pulled across the metro — commercial fit-outs, new homes, solar, roofs, HVAC and higher-value remodels — plus contractors who just took out a licence.

1,229leads · weekly

POS and payments, food distributors, restaurant services

Hospitality

$149/mo

Liquor licence applications the moment they are filed — a venue that has applied is months from opening and buying everything — plus the licences that did not renew.
