California New Business Leads: new LLCs and corporations in Los Angeles & San Francisco

Get newly registered California businesses from two official city open-data registries: the City of Los Angeles Office of Finance (Active Businesses) and the San Francisco Treasurer & Tax Collector (Registered Business Locations). Both are updated regularly and come with a NAICS industry code, so you can pull "new construction companies in LA" or "new restaurants in San Francisco" directly.

In our last 30-day test run this returned 976 new business entities (531 in Los Angeles, 445 in San Francisco), after dropping every record without a business designator.

Each result has the business name, account/certificate number, start date, NAICS code and industry, city, ZIP and business street address.

No browser, no proxies, no login. Runs take seconds.

Who uses this

• Suppliers, insurers, banks, payroll and accounting firms reaching California companies in their first weeks.
• Lead-gen agencies and B2B SaaS building fresh LA or SF lists by industry or ZIP.
• Contractor-focused sellers targeting new construction companies (NAICS 23).
• Market researchers tracking new business formation in California's two biggest business hubs.

Privacy by design

• Businesses only. Records whose name has no business designator (LLC, Inc, Corp...) are dropped, so sole proprietors and personal names never appear.
• No owner names, emails or phone numbers.
• Apartment-style addresses are withheld (city/ZIP stay).

FAQ

Is this legal to use? Yes. Both cities publish these datasets on their official open-data portals for public reuse.

Why only LA and SF? They are the California cities that publish business registrations as open data with an API. More cities may be added.

Not affiliated with or endorsed by the City of Los Angeles or the City and County of San Francisco.
