New Business Leads Scraper - 7 US City & Statewide Registries

Turn public new-business registrations from 7 major US markets into one fresh, ready-to-call lead list.

What it does

This is a new business leads scraper that pulls newly registered businesses from 7 official US registries in a single actor: Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and the statewide registries of Connecticut and Colorado. Instead of running one scraper per city or one query per state, you get consolidated new business registrations data across all 7 markets in one export. It isolates freshly issued licenses (for example, Chicago ISSUE-type records) so you target brand-new businesses, and several sources return phone and email alongside the registration - fields that most business license scraper tools never expose. Results export straight to CSV or JSON for your CRM.

Who it's for

• B2B sales and lead-generation teams building lists of new businesses to prospect
• Marketing agencies offering local lead lists to clients
• Data providers and list brokers enriching or reselling business registration feeds
• Franchise, insurance, and banking sales reps targeting newly opened companies
• Commercial services (POS, payroll, signage, cleaning, insurance) that sell to businesses in their first weeks

Input / How to query

Configure the run with these inputs:

• Sources - pick any combination of the 7 markets: Chicago, NYC, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, Connecticut (statewide), Colorado (statewide)
• Registered date range - limit results to a start/end window to pull only recently registered businesses
• Business name - filter to matching business names
• Industry - narrow to a specific business category or license type
• Newly-issued mode - isolate freshly issued licenses (e.g. Chicago ISSUE-type records) so you get first-time registrations rather than renewals

Example use cases

1. Fresh outbound lists - An insurance agent pulls all new registrations in Los Angeles and Chicago from the last 30 days, filters by industry, and works the ones with a phone and email.
2. Agency lead product - A marketing agency schedules weekly runs across all 7 markets and delivers a de-duplicated new-business list to each local client.
3. Franchise / banking prospecting - A business-banking rep monitors Connecticut and Colorado statewide registrations to reach owners before competitors do.
4. Data enrichment feed - A data provider ingests businessName, naicsCode, address, and recordId to append new records to an existing registry database.
5. Territory targeting - A local services company filters by city and zip (plus latitude/longitude) to build a route-ready list of newly opened businesses nearby.

Recurring use / scheduling

Set the actor on an Apify schedule (daily or weekly) to run automatically and capture new registrations as they appear. Use a narrow registered date range on each run so you only fetch recent records. Because every record carries a unique recordId, you can de-duplicate across runs - key on recordId in your CRM or downstream pipeline so the same business is never imported twice. This turns the actor into a standing new business registrations monitor across all 7 markets.
