Colorado New Business Leads: New SOS Filings Daily

Colorado New Business Leads: New SOS Filings Daily from Official Open Data

Use this to get new Colorado LLCs, corporations and nonprofits from the official Colorado Secretary of State "Business Entities in Colorado" open dataset. Each row has the business name, entity type, entity ID, formation date, status, principal and mailing address, registered agent (person or company), plus a likely-owner flag: when the registered agent is a person at the business address, that person is usually the owner. Filter by city, ZIP prefix, entity type and name words. $0.0015 per business.

No scraping of the SOS search site: the data comes from the state's official Socrata open-data API (dataset 4ykn-tg5h), updated daily.

• 🆕 About 15,000 new Colorado entities a month, newest first
• 🙋 Self-agent flag: the agent is a named person at the business address (usually the owner), so you know who to address

• 🏙️ City, ZIP prefix, entity type and name filters, e.g. Denver / Colorado Springs, ZIP 802, Colorado LLC, "roofing, construction"
• 🔗 Direct link to each SOS record
• 💸 $0.0015 per business; runs with no matches are free

For AI agents

Use this Actor to answer "which new businesses were formed in Colorado this week in city X or industry Y, and who owns them?". Minimal input: {"daysBack": 3, "cities": ["Denver"]}. Read agentSummary per business (name, type, ID, formation date, address, agent and whether the agent is likely the owner) or the SUMMARY takeaway (counts by type, self-agent share, top cities).

• MCP: add this Actor to Claude, Cursor, Copilot or any MCP client through the Apify MCP server: https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=pandadad0214/colorado-new-business-leads, then ask in plain English.
• API: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/pandadad0214~colorado-new-business-leads/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN with the input JSON.
• Every row has an agentSummary line, and the SUMMARY record has a one-line takeaway plus nextSteps, so an agent can answer without parsing every field.
• Schedule it (daily or weekly) and connect Zapier, Make, n8n, Slack, Google Sheets or a webhook to the dataset.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The Colorado Secretary of State publishes "Business Entities in Colorado" on data.colorado.gov (dataset 4ykn-tg5h), updated daily. The Actor reads it live through the Socrata SODA API.

What does "self-agent" mean? Colorado requires a registered agent. When the agent is a person (not a company) and their address matches the business's principal address, it is almost always the owner. In our test runs most small new LLCs filed this way.

What is an agent service / virtual office? Companies like Registered Agents Inc or Northwest act as agent for many businesses. When the principal address equals the agent company's address, the business has no real street address in the record. Turn on Exclude agent services and virtual offices to drop them.

Are there emails or phone numbers? No. The open dataset has names and addresses only. Use the Company Website Enricher once the business has a website.

Is it legal to use for marketing? These are public records published for reuse. Follow the usual marketing rules (CAN-SPAM, do-not-call) when contacting people.
