Georgia Secretary of State Business Search & New Business Filings Scraper

Unofficial tool. This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Georgia Secretary of State. It is an independent tool that retrieves public records from the state's public business search portal (ecorp.sos.ga.gov).

Get Georgia new business leads and run KYB (Know Your Business) checks in Georgia straight from the official source: the Georgia Secretary of State Corporations Division business registry (ecorp.sos.ga.gov). This actor is a Georgia Secretary of State business search API: give it a company name, registered agent, officer, or control number, and it returns clean, structured JSON records; or run it in new-filings mode to discover the newest LLC and corporation registrations in Georgia for lead generation.

Use cases

• Georgia new business leads: new LLC and corporation filings are the warmest B2B leads that exist; every new entity needs banking, insurance, bookkeeping, marketing, web design, phones, and office space.
• KYB Georgia / business verification: verify a Georgia company exists, is active, and who its registered agent is before onboarding a vendor, customer, or counterparty. Works as an MCP tool for AI-agent KYB flows.
• Registered agent intelligence: map which agents represent which entities.
• Due diligence and OSINT: officer names, principal addresses, filing history for research on Georgia companies.

How to search Georgia Secretary of State business records

1. Create a free Apify account (no credit card needed).
2. Open the Actor page and click Try for free.
3. Pick a searchMode: entityName for a Georgia LLC lookup or company search, registeredAgent / officer for people-centric searches, controlNumber for an exact lookup, or newFilings for the newest Georgia business registrations.
4. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Dataset tab and export the records as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS.
5. Optional: add a Schedule to run newFilings mode daily and wake up to a fresh list of new Georgia business leads every morning.

Input

{
    "searchMode": "entityName",
    "searchTerm": "peachtree consulting",
    "searchCriteria": "Contains",
    "maxResults": 25,
    "fetchDetails": true
}

Search modes:

• entityName - search by business name (StartsWith / Contains / ExactMatch)
• registeredAgent - find every entity a registered agent represents
• officer - search by officer name
• controlNumber - exact lookup of one entity by control number
• newFilings - the lead-gen mode: discovers the newest Georgia registrations by walking the state's sequential control numbers (2-digit year + 6-digit sequence) backwards from the newest filing. Optionally seed it with startControlNumber to resume from a known point, e.g. run it daily and start from yesterday's newest number.

{
    "searchMode": "newFilings",
    "maxResults": 50,
    "statusFilter": "Active",
    "fetchDetails": true
}

Other options: statusFilter (keep only records whose status contains the text), fetchDetails (visit each entity's detail page for filing date, agent address, NAICS, and officers), requestDelaySecs (politeness delay, default 3s).

Proxy (proxyConfiguration)

Optional, off by default. Search-only runs (fetchDetails: false) pass Cloudflare fine without any proxy, so most runs need nothing here. Detail pages sit behind a stricter Cloudflare managed challenge that can be slow or time out; if you fetch full details at scale and see challenge timeouts, select the Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy group in this field for reliable detail fetching. The proxy traffic is billed against your own Apify plan's proxy allowance (a datacenter proxy adds nothing here, so do not bother with it).

Georgia business search API: integrate with code or AI agents (MCP)

Call this Actor from any language with the Apify API and use it as a Georgia Secretary of State business search API.

JavaScript (apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('civicfeeds/ga-new-business-filings').call({
    searchMode: 'newFilings',
    maxResults: 50,
    statusFilter: 'Active',
    fetchDetails: true,

Python (apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("civicfeeds/ga-new-business-filings").call(run_input={
    "searchMode": "entityName",
    "searchTerm": "peachtree consulting",
    "searchCriteria": "Contains",
    "maxResults": 25,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():

MCP for AI agents. Every Apify Actor is also an MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool. Point your agent (Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client) at https://mcp.apify.com with your Apify token and it can run Georgia KYB checks or pull new business filings on demand inside agent workflows.

Apify integrations also connect runs to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, Slack and webhooks, and Schedules let you run new-filings discovery daily without writing any code.

Compliance

This actor returns public corporate records published by the Georgia Secretary of State. These filings are public records under the Georgia Open Records Act (O.C.G.A. 50-18-70 et seq.). It contains no consumer information.

This data is NOT a consumer report and must NOT be used for tenant screening, employment screening, credit decisions, insurance eligibility, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Use it for business verification (KYB), B2B lead generation, and corporate research only.

GDPR: if you collect personal data with this tool (for example officer or registered agent names), you, the end user, are the data controller for that data. EU users are responsible for establishing their own lawful basis for any processing of personal data.

The actor is polite by design: low request rates, realistic delays, a single session, and no parallel hammering of the state portal.

Operating rule: this actor respects targeted revocation. If the target site issues a cease-and-desist or otherwise individually revokes access, access folds: the actor will be paused and reassessed immediately.

FAQ

Is there an official Georgia Secretary of State API? The state does not offer a public search API for the business registry. This actor fills that gap by returning the same public records anyone can view on ecorp.sos.ga.gov, delivered as structured JSON.

Is it legal to scrape the Georgia business registry? The records are public filings under the Georgia Open Records Act, retrieved at a polite request rate. See the Compliance section above, including the FCRA restriction on how the data may be used.

How do I get new Georgia LLC filings every day? Schedule the actor to run daily in newFilings mode. Optionally pass startControlNumber from the previous run to pick up exactly where you left off.

Can I export to CSV, Excel or Google Sheets? Yes. Apify datasets export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML and RSS, and integrate with Google Sheets, Make, Zapier and webhooks.
