New Business Filings Monitor — Official State Registries

Get every new business registered in Colorado, Connecticut, and New York, straight from the official Secretary of State / Department of State open-data feeds — normalized, deduplicated, and lead-ready.

New businesses are the highest-intent B2B leads that exist: within weeks of filing, they buy insurance, payroll, banking, bookkeeping, POS systems, websites, marketing, and office services. This actor gives you those leads the day the state publishes them, for a fraction of what lead brokers charge.

Why this actor

• Official sources only. Data comes directly from state government open-data portals (data.colorado.gov, data.ct.gov, data.ny.gov) — no scraping of third-party sites, no stale resold lists.
• Fresh. State feeds update daily; run this on a daily or weekly schedule and get filings from the last 1–7 days.
• You only pay for new leads. With newOnly enabled (default), filings already delivered in previous runs are skipped — a scheduled run only charges for rows you haven't seen before.
• One normalized schema across states. Entity name, type, filing date, status, address, registered agent, county — same columns whether the filing came from CO, CT, or NY.
• Bonus segmentation (CT). Connecticut filings include self-reported woman-owned / veteran-owned / minority-owned flags.

Typical volume (all three states): 900–1,300 new filings per day.

Who uses this

• Insurance agents & brokers — new LLCs need GL/BOP/workers' comp immediately.
• Payroll, bookkeeping & tax firms — reach owners before they've picked a provider.
• Banks & merchant services — new entities open accounts in week one.
• Web/marketing agencies — most new filings have no website yet.
• Data teams — firmographic enrichment, local market research, TAM tracking.

More states?

CO, CT, and NY are live. Additional states with official feeds (and scraped coverage for states without them) are added by demand — open an issue and tell me which state you need; well-supported requests ship within days.

Data & fair-use notes

All records are public business registrations published by state governments for exactly this purpose. The actor queries official open-data APIs politely (paged, rate-limited, identified). Records describe business entities, not consumers.
