US Business Entity Search & New LLC Leads – NY, TX, PA, CO, CT, OR

Get newly registered LLCs and corporations and look up companies by name in the official state business registries of New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Connecticut and Oregon, straight from each state's own open-data portal. Every row has the entity name, type, status, formation date, business address, county, registered agent, and where the state publishes them officers / organizers, NAICS industry code and business email and agent phone (Connecticut).

• $1.50 per 1,000 entities. Cheaper than the Secretary of State search and new-business-lead Actors on the Store ($2–$5 per 1,000). Runs with no match cost nothing.
• New-business leads. Formed in the last N days gives you companies registered this week: the best moment to offer banking, insurance, accounting, payroll, web design, signage or office services.
• Entity search / KYB. Type a name and search six states in one run: status, formation date, registered agent and officers for vendor checks and due diligence.
• Official sources, no scraping. Data comes from each state's open-data API (Socrata): no SOS website scraping, no captcha, no API key, no browser.

FAQ

How fresh is it? As fresh as each state's open-data feed: NY, CO and CT daily, OR and TX weekly, PA monthly. The source field links to the dataset.

Why no phone numbers for most states? Registries do not collect business phone numbers. Connecticut publishes the registered agent's phone and email, and a business email. Combine the business name and city with our Website Contact Finder once the company has a website.

Why does Texas show an out-of-state address? Texas data comes from the Comptroller's franchise-tax file, which lists the taxpayer's mailing address (often the owner's or the registered agent's).

Is this legal? All data is published by the states themselves as public open data for reuse. This Actor only calls those official APIs. Officer and agent names are public record; if you contact people, follow CAN-SPAM, TCPA and other rules that apply to you. Questions: iletisim.ortalamabiri@gmail.com.
