Registry Events Tracker — New Companies, Dissolutions & Director Changes (FR + UK)

A fresh business registration tracker for France and the UK. Instead of a static directory, this actor returns a stream of registry events — new companies, dissolutions, modifications and insolvency proceedings — straight from official open data (BODACC for France, Companies House for the UK). Filter by event type, region, sector and date window, deduplicate, and use new-only mode for clean sales signals: "which companies just got created or changed in my area this week."

This is lead generation France UK at the source: official registries, not a scraped contact list.

What it does

• New company alerts — fresh incorporations (FR + UK).
• Dissolutions, modifications & insolvency — radiations, changes and procédures collectives (FR).
• Filters — event type, region (FR department / UK town), sector (UK SIC code), and a lookback window.
• New-only alert mode — return only events not seen in previous runs (per alert key) — perfect for daily prospecting.
• Dedup — no repeated rows across runs.

Output fields

Field	Meaning
country	FR or UK
event_type	new_company, dissolution, modification, insolvency, accounts_filing
event_date	Publication / incorporation date
company_name, company_id	Name + SIREN (FR) / company number (UK)
registry	RCS (BODACC) or UK Companies House
sector_code(s)	SIC codes (UK); null for FR (BODACC carries no NAF)
region, region_code	Department / town + code / postcode
status, detail	Event family + sub-type
source_url	Official record link

Why this one

• An event flux, not a static lookup. Built for prospecting on fresh signals, with a new-only alert mode that competitors' static scrapers don't offer.
• FR + UK unified in one normalized schema (SIREN ↔ company number, same fields).
• Official open data — BODACC (DILA) and Companies House — with cache + retry/backoff.
• Agent- & n8n-ready — one clean event per row; schedule it for daily lead alerts.

Setup & notes

• France (BODACC) works with no key — the default run returns events out of the box.
• UK (Companies House) needs a free API key. Set it as a secret environment variable COMPANIES_HOUSE_API_KEY on the actor. Without it, country: UK/BOTH reports the UK part as unavailable; FR still works.
• UK currently covers new incorporations (Companies House advanced-search). FR covers creations, dissolutions, modifications, insolvency and account filings.
• FR BODACC announcements don't carry a NAF/sector code, so sector_code is null for France.
• Official registry data, not a legal opinion.
