New business leads for payroll reps

A new business sets up payroll when it starts hiring, in the weeks before it opens. The Morning Sheet finds it as opening day gets close, and sends you the address and a reason to call.

Why timing wins

When a new business sets up payroll

A restaurant hires a manager and a kitchen lead first, then a crew to train before the soft open. A liquor license application, a finaled building permit, or a business license filed ahead of its open date all mean hiring is close.

Call then and you set up the first payroll. After opening you are asking the owner to move one that already runs.

What you get

What a lead gives payroll reps

  • New restaurants, cafes, and bars, plus new shops, clinics, salons, gyms, and child care centers.
  • The address, the expected opening when the filings give one, and the filing behind each lead.
  • The business’s line where we have verified it.
  • On First Look, exclusive in your territory for 7 days, then the lead moves to Second Look.

How it works

How MorningSheet gets you there first

  1. We read the public record

    Permits, licenses, liquor and health filings: the trail every business leaves before it opens.

  2. We verify and score it by hand

    We confirm it across two filings, verify the business’s direct line, and score it 0–100 on how soon it opens.

  3. You call before anyone else

    It lands in your inbox with the reason to call and the business’s direct line. You book the meeting first.
