We only email you about Alaska New Openings. Unsubscribe any time.

What this covers. Every trade, statewide, with a date that means new. But Alaska's file has no category field, so most listings just say “Business”, and many are sole proprietors without a storefront. There's no forward date.

Monday morning

Northern Spa just landed on the Anchorage list.

Salon & beauty in Anchorage. Status: new business license. A new place needs a POS, insurance, signs, supplies and staff. If you sell any of that, this is the name you want on your desk on Monday, with the week still ahead of you.

That’s a real row from Alaska business license file (DCCED), not a sample. The free email gives you the names. Pro gives you the address and more.

How it works

The paperwork shows up first

A new business leaves a public paper trail. That trail is how we see openings coming.

Step 1

The record gets published

Alaska's Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing publishes each active business license, with its issue date and physical address.

Step 2

We read and sort it

We read it every day and keep licenses first issued recently. We tested the date: renewals keep their old issue date, so a recent date really does mean a new license.

Step 3

You see it, with its limits

Alaska's file has no trade or category field. We sort by what the name says, and most land in a general bucket. Many holders are sole proprietors, not storefronts.

Who it’s for

Built for people who sell to new businesses
