NYC has its own DOB and DCWP licensing for nearly every trade; upstate varies by county.

The Real Business This Platform Already Runs

Full Loop CRM isn't a concept pitched at Buffalo operators before it's proven — it's the exact system running The NYC Maid, a real cleaning company, today. That business has served 1,295 clients run by one person, on the same booking, dispatch, and payment engine available to a Buffalo operator, under the same ownership terms. See if your trade is still open.

The distinction matters: most software vendors describe what their product could theoretically do for a business. Full Loop CRM's core loop — lead capture, AI-answered calls and texts, booking, GPS-verified dispatch, Stripe payment collection, automated crew payouts, and review requests — isn't theoretical. It's the operating system of a business that runs today, and an operator in Buffalo who joins the platform inherits that exact system rather than an earlier, unproven version of it.
