New Business Filings and LLC Leads from Secretary of State (CO, NY, CT, OR, TX)

Get newly formed LLCs, corporations, nonprofits and partnerships from five states in one run: Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Oregon and Texas. Every record comes from the state's official open data portal (Secretary of State, and the Texas Comptroller file that carries the Secretary of State charter date), and every state returns the same clean fields: business name, entity type, status, formation date, principal and mailing address, registered agent, NAICS industry code where the state publishes it, and a link to the source record.

Schedule the New businesses monitor weekly and you get a deduplicated feed of businesses formed since your last run, ready for Clay, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Sheets or any CRM.

Price: $2 per 1,000 business records in search mode, $3 per 1,000 new-business leads in monitor mode, plus $0.001 per run. You only pay for results you get.

What this new business scraper does

• New LLC and corporation leads: every business formed in the last 7, 30 or 90 days, filtered by state, city, ZIP, entity type and industry.
• Weekly new business feed: the monitor remembers what it already returned, so each scheduled run delivers only new filings, with no duplicates.
• Secretary of State business search: look up any business by name across five state registries at once.
• Industry targeting with NAICS: Connecticut and Texas publish NAICS codes, so you can pull only new restaurants (722), contractors (238), consultants (5416) or medical practices (621).
• One schema for five states: no more stitching together five different state formats.

Who uses newly formed business data

Banks and credit unions

A new business needs a business checking account, a card and a loan. Pull new domestic LLCs and corporations in your branch footprint by city or ZIP every Monday and hand them to business bankers before a competitor gets there.

Business insurance agents

Every new company needs general liability, workers' comp and commercial auto. Filter by NAICS in Connecticut and Texas (for example 238 for trade contractors) or by name keywords like "ROOFING", "TRUCKING" or "CLEANING" in every state.

Payroll, PEO and HR software

New employers need payroll from day one. Schedule the monitor for your target states and send each new LLC into Clay for enrichment and an automated sequence.

Web design, SEO and marketing agencies

A business formed this week has no website, no Google profile and no reviews yet. The new business feed is the earliest possible list of local prospects for web, SEO and branding agencies.

Accountants, bookkeepers and tax firms

New entities need bookkeeping, a first tax return, sales tax setup and an S corp election. Filter by city to build a local prospect list every month.

Merchant services, POS and business lenders

New restaurants, retail shops and salons need card processing and equipment. Use NAICS 722 or 44-45 in Texas and Connecticut, or name keywords elsewhere.

KYB, compliance and market research

Confirm a company exists and is active, see when it was formed and who its registered agent is, or count new business formation by state, city and industry.

Supported states and sources

State	Official source	New entities per month (approx.)	Formation date	Status	Registered agent	NAICS
Colorado	Secretary of State, Business Entities in Colorado (data.colorado.gov), updated daily	~14,000	Yes	Yes (good standing, dissolved, withdrawn)	Yes	No
New York	Department of State, Active Corporations (data.ny.gov)	~21,000	Yes (initial DOS filing date)	Active entities only	Yes (or service of process address)	No
Connecticut	Secretary of the State, Business Registry (data.ct.gov), updated daily	~5,000	Yes (registration date)	Yes	No	Yes, plus business email
Oregon	Secretary of State, Active Businesses ALL, weekly, plus New Businesses Registered Last Month (data.oregon.gov)	~7,000 including assumed business names	Yes (registry date)	Active, plus last month's registrations no longer active	Yes	No
Texas	Comptroller, Active Franchise Taxpayers with SOS charter date (data.texas.gov)	~23,000	Yes (SOS charter date)	Active franchise taxpayers	No	Yes

How fresh is the data? Colorado and Connecticut update daily, New York within a few days and Oregon weekly. Texas lists a new entity once the Comptroller sets up its franchise tax account, which usually happens 2 to 4 weeks after the charter date, so for Texas use a 30 to 60 day window in search mode. The monitor's 60-day look-back catches these late Texas records automatically and returns each one once, as soon as it appears.

This Actor only reads the public open data APIs (Socrata) that each state publishes for reuse. It never touches login pages or captcha-protected search pages, it sends one request at a time and it respects each portal's crawl delay.

Use with Clay, Zapier, Make and n8n

FAQ

Is this data legal to use? Business entity filings are public records. Each state publishes these datasets on its official open data portal for public reuse (Colorado and Connecticut mark them public domain; Oregon law places portal data in the public domain; New York's OPEN-NY terms allow any lawful use). You are responsible for how you use the data, including following CAN-SPAM, TCPA and similar outreach rules.

Why are some addresses or agents missing? The Actor returns exactly what each state publishes. New York often lists only a service of process address, and Texas and Connecticut do not publish registered agents in these datasets.

Why do New York and Texas show active entities only? Those official datasets list active entities. Dissolved entities drop out.

Can I add other states? More states will be added where an official open data source exists. Tell us which state you need in the Issues tab.

Why is the first run slower? The first run in a look-back window can take about 2 to 3 minutes because it reads the full window from each state. Later runs are faster.

Does the monitor send the same business twice? No. The monitor remembers every business it has returned for each monitorId within the look-back window.
