No more manually searching sunbiz.org one business at a time. Get the full daily filings in a single API call.

Use Cases

Insurance Agents

New businesses need general liability, BOP, workers' comp, and commercial auto insurance. Reaching them within 48 hours of registration — before competitors — dramatically increases conversion rates. Filter by city or ZIP to focus on your territory.

B2B Sales & SaaS

New business owners need everything: accounting software, payroll, point-of-sale systems, phone systems, payment processing, websites. These are high-intent buyers making purchasing decisions right now.

Real Estate & Commercial Leasing

New businesses often need office space, retail locations, or warehouses. The principal address tells you if they're operating from home (a sign they may need commercial space soon).

Legal Services

New LLCs need operating agreements, corporations need bylaws, and all businesses need compliance guidance. Business attorneys can build a pipeline of clients who need formation documents reviewed or amended.

Accountants & CPAs

Every new business needs bookkeeping, tax preparation, and payroll. Reach new business owners when they're setting up their financial infrastructure.

Marketing Agencies

New businesses need websites, logos, Google Business profiles, and social media. These are the easiest leads to close because the need is immediate and obvious.

Financial Services & Banking

Banks and credit unions can offer business checking accounts, credit lines, and merchant services to newly formed entities.

Market Research

Comparison: This Actor vs Alternatives

vs Manual Sunbiz Search

Searching sunbiz.org manually means entering one business at a time and copying results by hand. There's no bulk export, no date filtering, and no way to get all new filings for a given day. This actor gives you the entire day's filings in structured JSON/CSV in minutes.

vs Targetron & Other Lead Providers

Services like Targetron sell Florida business leads for $50–200+/month with limited filtering and often stale data. This actor costs ~$5–8 per day of filings and gives you raw, unfiltered data directly from the source — with full addresses, officer details, and registered agent info that many lead providers strip out.

vs Building Your Own Scraper

The sunbiz.org bulk data feed requires SFTP access and parsing fixed-width text files from the Florida Department of State. This actor handles all the infrastructure, parsing, and data normalization so you don't have to.

vs Other State Filings Scrapers

This actor is specifically optimized for Florida's Division of Corporations data — the most complete and fastest-updating business registry in the US. Florida's volume (1,000–1,500/day) makes it one of the best states for new business lead generation.
