Event permitting & regulatory coordination

Planning an Event? We'll Handle the Permits.

From festivals and grand openings to pop-ups, corporate events and temporary activations, we help event producers and business owners navigate permits, licenses, city approvals and inspections.

One point of contact. Multiple agencies. Fewer headaches.

Permitting doesn't have to be complicated

Permits Can Get Complicated Fast.

Producing an event is already a full-time job. The last thing you should be doing is figuring out which city department handles a temporary use permit, whether you need a fire inspection, when your alcohol application is due, or which documents need to be submitted first.

That's where we come in.

We help identify the permits and approvals your event may require and coordinate the process from application through approval.
