What you get
New business licenses and state registration filings show up the week a business forms, before the recycled lists everyone else is working.
Every lead gets a score and a plain-English reason it's worth a call right now, so reps work the best ones first.
In 11 verified markets each lead carries the business phone number from the public filing. Elsewhere you get the fresh records and add your own contact.
Start with one free ZIP, add the ZIPs you actually work, or lock a ZIP so no other rep can subscribe to it.
Pending food and liquor licenses flag businesses weeks before they open, when they are choosing how to take payments.
Spot a wrong number or bad address, flag it, and the lead is credited back.
How it works
Every week Merchant Signal pulls new business licenses and state registration filings across its coverage area.
Each business is ranked by how new it is, whether its vertical fits what you sell, and a free check of whether it already takes cards.
The best-scored new merchants land at the top of your list, with the why-now and, in verified markets, the phone number.

Questions
Where does the data come from?
Public records: new business licenses, state registration filings and pending licenses. No credit-bureau data and no recycled lists.
Which markets have phone numbers?
Merchant Signal is live in 53 markets across 21 states. 11 of them are verified markets with the business phone number from the public filing. In the rest you get the fresh records and add your own contact. The live list is on the Merchant Signal pricing page.
Do you scrub against the Do-Not-Call registry?
No. You own your outreach, so check any list against DNC and TCPA rules before you dial.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Your free account unlocks one full ZIP in your area with no card, so you see the real data first.
