New Business Leads Scraper — Newly Registered LLCs & Corporations · Florida, Colorado & New York

Find newly registered businesses and turn them into fresh B2B leads — days after they file, before anyone else. Every week thousands of new LLCs and corporations register with the state, and a company that filed 5 days ago needs everything: a website, marketing, insurance, accounting, a bank, equipment, and its first customers. This scraper pulls new business registrations straight from the official public state business registry, normalizes each filing into a clean, time-stamped lead, and gives you the owner/officer names, registered agent, and address — before those businesses appear on Google Maps, Yelp, or any purchased lead list.

Freshness is the moat. A business registered last week has never been contacted by a competitor — this is the earliest, lowest-competition B2B lead source there is.

⭐ Three states live: Florida (Sunbiz), Colorado (SOS), and New York (DOS). The architecture is multi-state — adding a state is a drop-in module, so more are on the way. Want yours next? Ask on the Issues tab.

⚡ How it works (3 steps)

1. Pick a state and a date window. Leave dates empty for the last 7 days of new filings, or set your own range.
2. Filter to your vertical. Narrow by business-name keywords (roofing, cleaning, consulting…), entity type (LLC / Corporation / Nonprofit / LP-LLP), and county.
3. Run it. It reads the state's official public data feed, extracts every new business registration in your window, and returns clean leads with a run summary.

Under the hood it prefers the state's official bulk public-records feed instead of scraping the search UI — the UI can't even list filings by date — so it's fast and never blocked.

🔍 Why new-registration data beats scraped directories

• It's the freshest lead signal that exists. A business registration is the first public event in a company's life — earlier than a website, a Google listing, or a review.
• You get a real human name. Officers, directors/managers, and the registered agent are right in the public filing — so you address the actual decision-maker, not "To whom it may concern."
• Zero competition at first contact. Nobody markets to a business that isn't in any directory yet. You're first in the inbox and first in the mailbox.
• Lowest legal risk of any lead source (see below).

⚖️ Public records — the legal posture, stated plainly

Florida corporate, LLC, and nonprofit filings are public government records, created under the Florida Business Corporation Act (Ch. 607), the Florida Revised LLC Act (Ch. 605), and Ch. 617 for nonprofits, and open under Florida's Public Records Act (Ch. 119) and the Florida Constitution's public-records right. The state publishes the entire registry itself — a free public search site and free bulk data downloads.

There is no license, no terms-of-service prohibition, no anti-scraping clause, and no commercial-reuse restriction on this data — only an "as-is" accuracy disclaimer from the state. Business-registry data is not covered by the DPPA (that law applies only to motor-vehicle records), and no Florida exemption shields ordinary officer/registered-agent names and addresses. This Actor reads the state's official public data feed — the source the state built specifically for bulk access.

How you contact the leads is regulated separately (TCPA/CAN-SPAM/Florida's telemarketing rules) — standard for any outreach, regardless of where the names came from. This is informational, not legal advice.

🎯 Honest expectations — read this before enabling enrichment

Most brand-new businesses do not have a website or email yet. That's not a limitation of the scraper — it's the reality of a company that registered last week. The value of this data is WHO (the founders' and registered agent's names) and WHERE (the address), delivered while the business is brand new.

The optional "Enrich with website & email" toggle searches for an official site and pulls emails when one exists — but expect a low hit rate on fresh filings. It only bills when a plausible official site is actually found (never a Yelp/Facebook/directory page). Turn it on if you want it; just don't expect a full inbox from week-old companies.

The right play: use this Actor for the earliest possible contact (direct mail, phone, LinkedIn by name), then re-enrich the same list a few weeks later as those businesses build a web presence — pairing it with the enrichment Actors below.

🗺️ New business leads by state

Live now:

• Florida — Secretary of State / Sunbiz (official daily bulk feed). New LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, LP/LLPs, with officers + registered agent + county.
• Colorado — Secretary of State open-data (official free API). New LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, LP/LLPs, with registered agent. (No officer list and no county field in Colorado's dataset.)
• New York — Department of State open-data (official free API, refreshed near-daily). New LLCs, corporations, nonprofits, LP/LLPs, with county + registered agent (when on file). (No officer list in New York's dataset.)

The engine is built on a state-agnostic registry adapter, so new states drop in as modules. Want new business leads for Texas, California, Georgia, Washington, or anywhere else? Request it on the Issues tab and it moves up the queue. (Coverage depends on what each state publishes — states with a free bulk feed or open-data API, like FL/CO/NY, are added fastest; states that only offer a search UI take longer.)

💵 Pricing (pay-per-event)

You pay only for results, not for run time:

Event	When it fires	Price
Business found	Each normalized new filing delivered to your dataset (passed your filters, inside your window)	$0.01
Business enriched	Only when website enrichment runs — a plausible official site was found and scraped	$0.02
Actor start	Synthetic start event (Apify waives the first 5 seconds of compute)	$0.00005

• Public-records data is cheap to serve, so business-found is priced for volume — 1,000 fresh, named leads for $10.
• Filtered-out and failed records are never charged. Enrichment is charged only when a site is actually found — not for every attempt.
• Set a maximum results cap (default 200, hard max 2,000) and an event charge limit to control spend.

---

⚠️ Limitations

• Florida, Colorado & New York are live; more states coming. The code is built around a RegistryAdapter interface — new states are drop-in modules. Request a state on the Issues tab.
• Coverage varies by each state's public data. Florida (bulk feed) has officers + registered agent + ZIP-derived county (all 67 counties). New York (open-data) has county + registered agent, no officers. Colorado (open-data) has the registered agent, no officers, no county. County filtering therefore works for Florida & New York; a filing whose county can't be determined is excluded when a county filter is set (and counted in the summary, never hidden).
• New businesses rarely have websites/emails yet — see Honest expectations.
• Data is only as complete as the public filing. Some new filings omit officers or list only a registered agent; those fields come back null.

❓ FAQ

How do I find newly registered businesses in Florida?

Run this Actor with state: "FL" and a date window (or leave it empty for the last 7 days). It reads Florida's official Sunbiz public data feed and returns every new LLC, corporation, nonprofit, and LP/LLP registered in that window, with owner/officer names and addresses.

How do I find newly registered businesses in New York?

Set state: "NY". It reads the New York Department of State's official open-data feed (refreshed near-daily) and returns new LLC and corporation filings in your window — with entity type, county, and registered agent.

How do I find newly registered businesses in Colorado?

Set state: "CO". It reads the Colorado Secretary of State's official open-data feed and returns new LLC, corporation, nonprofit, and LP/LLP filings in your window, with the registered agent and address.

How fresh is the data?

It comes from the state's daily-updated public feed. You typically see filings within a day or two of the state entering them — days before those businesses appear anywhere else.

Is scraping business-registry data legal?

Yes. These are public government records the state publishes for exactly this kind of access — there's no terms-of-service or licensing restriction on the data. See Public records above. (How you contact leads is governed by the usual TCPA/CAN-SPAM rules, like any outreach.)

Why don't most records have an email address?

Because the business is brand new and hasn't built a website yet. This scraper's edge is being early — with real names and addresses. Enrich later as the businesses mature.

Can I target a specific industry?

Yes — use nameKeywords (e.g. roofing, hvac, cleaning, trucking, consulting). It matches the business name, which is how new companies signal their industry.

Can I filter by city or county?

Filter by counties (e.g. Hillsborough, Miami-Dade). City is included in every record for finer sorting.

What entity types are included?

LLCs, for-profit corporations, nonprofits, and LPs/LLPs — filter to any subset.

How do I control cost?

Set maxResults and, in the Console, an event charge limit. You're billed per delivered record; filtered-out records cost nothing.

How much does a new business leads list cost?

Bought lists run into the hundreds of dollars and are often weeks stale. Here you pay $0.01 per fresh, named lead — 1,000 newly registered businesses for $10 — and only for records that pass your filters. Florida logs hundreds of new business filings every business day (well over 300,000 new entities a year), so a single run can surface a large, current list.

What's the best way to reach a business right after it registers?

For a week-old business, direct mail and phone beat email (most have no website/email yet). Address the named officer or registered agent from the filing, reference that they just registered, and lead with the one thing a brand-new business needs from you. Re-touch by email a few weeks later once they're online — see Works perfectly with for the enrichment pipeline.

Which states are coming next?

It's demand-driven — tell us on the Issues tab which state you want and it moves up the list.

How to build a new-business outreach list (workflow)

1. Run New Business Finder for your state, date window, and industry keywords → fresh filings with names + addresses.
2. Deduplicate against your CRM with Lead Deduplicator & Merger.
3. A few weeks later, run Website Email Extractor + Email Verifier over the same list to add and validate emails as the businesses come online.
4. Validate phones with Phone Number Validator, then generate personalized openers with Icebreaker Generator.
5. Reach out by mail/phone/LinkedIn first (day-one advantage), then email once verified.
