Quickstart

POST /api/v1/requirements

Ask for a market and vertical, then use the same response to power launch checklists, account setup, and renewal reminders.

public contract

curl -s https://launchpermit.com/api/v1/requirements \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "vertical": "fast-casual-restaurant",
    "city": "Austin",
    "state": "TX"

The best-fit buyer is already running location launches in software and does not want market-by-market permit knowledge to live in tribal knowledge or account-manager spreadsheets.

Why teams buy

A cleaner contract than “we track permits manually.”

Teams buy this to remove local permit guesswork from the systems already coordinating openings, renewals, and multi-location expansion.

Requirements graph

Return normalized local permit obligations for a supported market without hand-curated spreadsheet work in every launch cycle.

Renewal monitoring

Create monitored accounts and push deadline awareness into a workflow before renewals become expensive fire drills.

Account operations

Keep launch records, monitored accounts, and renewal context organized without pushing teams back into spreadsheets.

Integration path

One narrow workflow, three useful calls.

LaunchPermit should feel straightforward to evaluate: inspect the response shape, get access to the authenticated monitor flow, and decide whether it belongs in your launch software or internal ops stack.

Query one market

Ask for a supported city, state, and vertical. The response returns mapped obligations, cost range, cadence, and lead time defaults.

Start a paid account

Starter and Growth can subscribe directly, then generate a customer API key for authenticated monitor access right away.

Create a monitor

Persist the account the moment a customer opens or expands a location so the next deadline is computed immediately.

Wedge

One vertical, not fake universality.

The product is intentionally narrow: non-alcohol fast-casual launches for multi-location operators. That keeps the contract crisp and the data believable.

Product surface

The API leads. Ops stays behind the curtain.

Requirements lookup, authenticated monitor endpoints, and health checks stay clean for customer integrations. Internal operating tooling stays separate so the product surface remains focused.

Why this matters

Useful inside real software, not just another dashboard.

The value shows up where buyers already work: onboarding, rollout software, bookkeeping flows, and location launch planning.

Coverage

12 launch markets mapped for one expansion wedge.

This is not pretending to be national filing counsel. It is a constrained data layer for one expansion workflow, designed to be credible enough for production workflows and transparent enough to evaluate quickly.

Pricing

Clear pricing for teams that need compliance inside launch workflows.

Keep the commercial story simple: public requirements lookup first, self-serve paid plans for authenticated monitors, then enterprise support where it actually matters.

Starter

$750/mo

For teams embedding permit and renewal data into existing launch workflows.

Growth

$1,500/mo

For deeper rollout support, more monitors, and faster expansion asks.

Enterprise

Custom

For broader procurement, custom scope, and heavier internal rollout.

See full pricing Enterprise access

Access

Use self-serve pricing for standard plans. Request access for enterprise scope.

Public docs stay open. Teams that want broader coverage, procurement support, or custom rollout terms can request access and move directly into enterprise onboarding.

Docs stay public. Starter and Growth can subscribe directly.

Paid accounts can generate customer API keys for monitor routes immediately.

Enterprise requests still route directly to the onboarding team.

The product is built for teams embedding this inside existing software.
