East Baton Rouge Business Registry - NAICS, Ownership & Status

Every business registered with East Baton Rouge Parish - Baton Rouge, Baker, Central and Zachary - straight from the City-Parish's own open data portal. ~80.6k registered businesses (as of 2026-09-28), each with the industry it is actually in and whether it is still open.

Low cost

From $0.00005 per record, down to $0.00003 at Gold. Pay only for the records you actually receive - the whole register stays queryable, you are never billed for the scan behind it.

What you get

• Who - the trade name, the registered legal name, and the account number
• Open or closed - the status, plus the business open date and, for closed businesses, the close date
• What kind of business - the ownership type (LLC, Corporation, Sole Proprietor, Partnership, Non-Profit, Government, LLP) and the licensed account type (Retail Dealer, Contractor, Professional, Wholesale Dealer, Insurance Company, )
• The industry - the NAICS code and both of its descriptive levels: the NAICS category and the NAICS group
• Where - a physical address and a separate mailing address, each with city, state and ZIP
• Who to contact - the contact person on the account

Modes

• rows (default) - registered businesses matching your filters
• aggregate - counts by status, ownership type, account type or NAICS category

Filters

Account number, business name, legal name, status, ownership type, account type, NAICS code (prefix), NAICS category, contact person, address, city, ZIP, and an open-date range.

Notes on the data, from the source

• status has exactly two values: 37,405 Open and 43,154 Closed (measured 2026-09-28). The check that fixes their meaning: of the 43,154 rows marked Closed, 43,154 carry a close date; of the 37,405 marked Open, none does.
• The industry classification is the deep part. 79,647 of ~80.6k rows (98.9%) carry a NAICS code, and every one of those also carries the NAICS category name and the NAICS group name - so the register can be sliced by industry rather than by name alone.
• Open dates carry outliers at both ends, and they are blanked rather than served as business dates: 4,403 rows sit before 1990 (1,808 of them still Open) and 2 sit at 2027-01-01. Anything outside 1901-01-01 to 2027-01-01 comes back empty. The close-date column has no such outliers.
• A mailing address is often a different place from the physical one. 45,319 of ~80.6k rows (56%) have the two street lines identical; the rest are landlords, registered agents and out-of-state headquarters - 17,797 rows (22%) mail to a different city, and 9,631 mail to a different state. Both blocks are returned, and the mailing side is populated on 80,345 rows (99.7%).
• The contact person is blank on 3,315 rows and a handful of address parts are missing on well under 1% of rows.
• Three columns restate each other. The numeric account-type code maps one to one onto the account-type label (code 9999 is "No Occupational License" on 29,856 rows both ways), so the label is what the filter and the aggregate use and the code is carried alongside.
• Two columns are carried under neutral names on purpose. The portal labels one of them "ADDRESS_ID" and the other "FILING FREQUENCY", and the content contradicts both labels and swaps them: the first holds filing references (N-16187, A-71965) on 48% of rows, the second holds a single letter (M/L/I/Q/H/A/O/S) on 100% of rows, and the portal publishes no legend for the letters. They are returned as filingReference and classificationCode - neither is described as something it is not, and neither is offered as a filter, because a filter on an undocumented code is a guess.
• Invalid filter inputs (a % in a search, a non-numeric NAICS code, a malformed date, a status the source does not use) are rejected rather than passed to the source.

Coverage and freshness

East Baton Rouge Parish registered businesses, all ~80.6k records, kept current by the City-Parish. The newest business open date on the register at the time of writing was 2026-12-20. Every record carries sourceUpdatedAt; the actor also carries a count guard and a whole-corpus field-coverage guard, so a source that collapses or changes shape fails loudly instead of returning an empty page as success.
