Who’s open for business near you?
A shop opened last month. A contractor two streets over is hiring. A business you pass every day is quietly for sale. All of it is published, in places nobody reads. This page puts it on one map.
By ClarIQ Advisory, the family-run finance firm for growing businesses. One of our free tools; it asks nothing of you.
Step 1
Where are you?
Your location is used to measure distance and never leaves your browser. We do not store it, and there is nothing here to log in to.
Coverage is strongest in New York City, where the city publishes every business license it issues. Hiring and for-sale pins reach across New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Where this comes from, and what it does not know
Everything here was published by the business itself or by a public body. Each entry links to the record it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
- Recently licensed. This is a license record, not confirmation of an opening date. Business licenses issued by the City of New York. The city’s file runs a few months behind, and the page prints the date it currently reaches, so a shop that opened last week will not be here yet.
- Job postings. Public job postings, plus careers pages the business publishes itself. Most postings name a town rather than a street, so those pins sit at the center of a ZIP code and are drawn faded to say so.
- For sale. Public business-for-sale listings. Many are deliberately anonymous to protect the seller, and where the listing withholds the name, so do we.
What is not here: anything we merely guessed.
We hold views about which businesses may be near a change of owner, and those stay private, because a guess printed next to a real name is a guess that can do damage.
If you are on this map and would rather not be, write to hello@clariqadvisory.com and we will take you off it.
