Reach a business the week it opens. This Actor pulls newly licensed and registered businesses from official city open-data portals, normalizes them to one clean schema — with category, address, geocode, and open date — and flags the fresh ones (opened in the last 45 days). A new business needs everything: insurance, banking, payments, payroll, suppliers, software, and services. This is the list, fresh.
Live coverage: New York City + Chicago + San Francisco. More cities on request. 100% public government data — no logins, no gray areas.
Who uses this
- Insurance & bonding — every new business needs coverage on day one.
- Banks, merchant services, POS / payments — be the first to onboard a new account.
- Bookkeepers, payroll, B2B SaaS, marketing & web agencies — a new business is a buying business.
- Commercial real estate, suppliers, distributors — territory prospecting on dated, geocoded signals.

Data sources & legality
100% public city open-data APIs, intended for reuse:
- NYC — DCWP Issued Licenses (
data.cityofnewyork.us) - Chicago — Business Licenses (
data.cityofchicago.org) - San Francisco — Registered Business Locations (
data.sfgov.org)
Public business-registration records — business and location data, not personal profiles. The Actor omits phone/personal contact fields, only touches public endpoints, never logged-in or ToS-gated sources, and rate-limits politely.
FAQ
How fresh is it? As fresh as the city portals — NEW flags any business opened/issued within the last 45 days.
Which cities? NYC + Chicago + SF now. Want LA, Houston, Seattle, or your city next? Request it.
Is this AI-generated? The data is real government open-data; an automated pipeline normalizes and de-duplicates it. No fabricated rows, ever.
Can I get only brand-new businesses? Yes — set the filter to ["NEW"].
