New French Companies Finder — Fresh B2B Leads from Official SIRENE Data 🇫🇷

Find newly created French companies (nouvelles entreprises, créations d'entreprises) by department, activity code (NAF/APE) and creation date — straight from official French government data (INSEE SIRENE register, data.gouv.fr).

Every result is a company that just registered: no website yet, no accountant yet, no insurance yet, no CRM yet. These are the hottest B2B leads in France — and this actor delivers them as clean, structured JSON/CSV/Excel.

Who uses this?

• Web agencies & freelancers — new companies need a website. Be the first to call.
• Accountants (experts-comptables) — every new SIREN needs bookkeeping.
• Insurance brokers — RC Pro, mutuelle, prévoyance: mandatory from day one.
• Banks & fintechs — business accounts, payment terminals.
• Office & equipment suppliers, telecom, software vendors — first-mover advantage.
• Market researchers — track business creation trends by region and sector (créations d'entreprises par département).

How to use

1. Pick one or more departments (75, 59, 69, 13, 2A, 971…).
2. Optionally filter by NAF/APE codes (62.01Z software, 56.10A restaurants, 43.32A joinery…).
3. Set a creation date window — or simply use "Last N days" and schedule the actor weekly for an automatic new-business watch (veille création d'entreprise).
4. Run. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pipe into Make / Zapier / your CRM via the Apify API.

Data sources — official and unbreakable

• Default (no API key needed): the French government's API Recherche d'Entreprises (data.gouv.fr). Zero setup.
• Recommended for large searches: add a free INSEE API key (2-minute signup at portail-api.insee.fr). The actor then queries the official Sirene 3.11 API with server-side date filtering — exact, fast, and with no result cap.

No scraping of fragile websites. No proxies. Government open data only — this actor does not break.

Scheduled monitoring (the power move)

Set lastNDays: 7, schedule the actor every Monday, and receive every company created last week in your target departments and sectors. Plug the dataset into Make, n8n or Zapier to auto-enrich your CRM or trigger outreach.
