How it works

1

We watch the filings

We pull new health permits, liquor applications, state licenses, NPI numbers and USDOT registrations from official open-data sources every week.

2

We clean them up

We merge duplicates across agencies, flag chains, remove individuals, and tag every row with its source and a link to the government record.

3

You get the drop

Every Monday you get a CSV that imports into your CRM and a PDF for your territory. We check it against past weeks, so you only see new businesses.

FAQ

Where does the data come from?

Official government records only, pulled through public open-data APIs and published files:

  • Restaurants: city health permits (NYC DOHMH), state liquor applications (NY SLA, Texas TABC, and others), and city business licenses (Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle), plus Florida DBPR new food-service licenses.
  • Beauty: state cosmetology and barbering establishment licenses (Florida DBPR, New York DOS) and city business registries.
  • Contractors: state contractor licensing boards (Florida DBPR, Oregon CCB) and city registries.
  • Healthcare: the federal CMS NPPES weekly file of new organization NPIs (public domain).
  • Trucking: the FMCSA Company Census file of new USDOT registrations (U.S. DOT open data).

We don't scrape sites that require a login, and every row links back to its source record.

Is there any personal data in the lists?

No. Ribbon Drop is business-only. We include registered business entities and the business contact details the agency publishes. We remove individual practitioners, sole-proprietor phone numbers, officer and owner names, personal emails and cell-phone fields. The healthcare lists contain organizations only, with no patient information of any kind.

How fresh is it, and how accurate?

Lists are delivered weekly and cover filings from the prior 7 days (city registries can lag up to 3 weeks). A filing is a strong signal, not a guarantee: some are ownership changes or relocations. We flag likely chains and pre-opening status where the data supports it. Please verify before relying on any single record.

Which states do you cover?

Healthcare and trucking cover all 50 states. Restaurants currently cover NYC, Chicago, LA, SF, Seattle, the major Texas metros and Florida statewide, and are expanding. Beauty covers Florida and New York statewide plus LA, SF and Seattle. Contractors cover Florida and Oregon statewide plus LA, SF and Seattle. If your state isn't listed, join the waitlist and you won't be charged until it's live.

Can I contact the businesses on the list?

Yes, as a business-to-business contact. You are responsible for following CAN-SPAM (honest sender and an opt-out on email), the TCPA (no autodialed or prerecorded calls or texts without consent) and Do-Not-Call rules.

What format do I get?

A CRM-ready CSV (stage, business, address, phone where published, category, signal, date, source link) and a formatted PDF every Monday by email. CRM/API sync is available as an add-on.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, from your billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the month or year you've paid for. You keep your deliveries until then and aren't charged again. We don't give partial refunds, so ask for a sample week at no cost first. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy.
