Why This Actor?

Every working day, Spain's official gazette (BOE) publishes 200–500 newly constituted companies via BORME (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil). This is the most reliable source of new business leads in Spain:

• Zero lead decay — companies just incorporated, no prior sales contact
• Official data — name, address, capital, directors, CNAE sector from government source
• No scraping risk — fully legal open government data (CC BY 4.0)
• Daily cadence — automate weekly prospecting lists for your SDR team

Use Cases

1. B2B Sales Prospecting

Pull all new IT/software companies (CNAE 62) in Madrid and Barcelona every Monday. Feed directly into your CRM. Your SDR team calls before competitors even know the company exists.

2. Competitive Intelligence

Monitor new entrants in your sector by CNAE code. Get alerts when capital-intensive companies (>€50k) are incorporated in your region.

3. Financial Services Lead Generation

Banks, insurers, and accounting firms use BORME to offer services to newly incorporated companies — the moment of maximum need for business accounts, insurance, and accounting.

4. Market Research

Quantify new business formation by sector, province, and capital level. Track economic activity trends across Spanish regions.

5. n8n / Make / Zapier Integration

Combine with email enrichment APIs to build automated outreach workflows. New company → find founder on LinkedIn → personalized email sequence.

Data Quality Notes

• Coverage: ~95% of newly incorporated companies appear within 1–3 working days of notarial deed.
• CNAE availability: ~60% of entries include explicit CNAE codes. Remaining 40% still include objeto_social for keyword filtering.
• Directors: Extracted when disclosed in the BORME entry (varies by notary).
• No PII: Director names are public registry data, not private individuals (legal requirement).

FAQ

Is this data legal to use? Yes. BORME data is published by the Spanish government under CC BY 4.0 open data license.

How fresh is the data? BORME is published each working day. With days: 1, you get companies published yesterday. With days: 7, you get the last week.

Can I get historical data beyond 30 days? Not with this actor (BOE API limit). For historical data, contact the actor author.

Does it cover all types of companies? Focuses on constitutions (new incorporations). Does not cover capital increases, dissolutions, or name changes.

What if BORME is not published that day? The actor gracefully skips missing dates (holidays, weekends) and continues with available dates.
