New Business Filings — Fresh LLC & Corporation Registrations by State

Every day, thousands of brand-new LLCs and corporations are registered with state governments. They all need banking, insurance, bookkeeping, websites, payroll, phones and office space — and on day one they have none of it. This actor turns new business filings into new business leads by state: it pulls newly registered entities straight from official state open-data portals and hands you a clean, normalized record per filing.

If you buy LLC registrations leads from a list broker today, this is the same public-record data at primary-source freshness — filtered, de-duplicated of formation-mill noise, and delivered on your schedule instead of theirs.

What you get

{
  "entity_name": "Colorado Home Advisory LLC",
  "state": "CO",
  "filing_date": "2026-08-04",
  "entity_type": "Domestic LLC",
  "status": "Good Standing",
  "registered_agent_name": "CARLOS E RUIZ",
  "agent_is_commercial": false,
  "address": "9216 Bauer Ct",
  "principal_city": "Lone Tree",
  "principal_state": "CO",
  "record_id": "20261872783",
  "source": "Colorado Secretary of State (data.colorado.gov)",
  "source_url": "https://data.colorado.gov/resource/4ykn-tg5h.json?entityid=20261872783"
}

Business-context data only: entity, filing, status and registered-agent (business) information. No officer home addresses, no personal data.

Commercial registered-agent handling: filings made through formation mills (Registered Agents Inc, Northwest, CSC, LegalZoom, ZenBusiness, ...) list the agent's office as the address. With excludeRegisteredAgentAddresses (default on) those addresses are blanked and the record is flagged agent_is_commercial: true, so your outreach lists aren't polluted with 5,000 "businesses" at 30 N Gould St.

Covered states (honest list)

State	Feed	Notes
CO	SOS business entities, updated daily	Full agent name + address
NY	DOS daily filings feed	Filtered to formations (Articles of Organization, Certificates of Incorporation, Applications of Authority). NY doesn't publish agent names
CT	Business registry master file	All entity types, domestic + foreign; agent names live in a separate state dataset (not joined)
OR	"New businesses registered last month"	Rolls monthly — use daysBack ≥ 30 for full coverage. Includes agent names
PA	DOS registered businesses	Creation-date filtered; PA uses registered-office providers (no agent names)
DE	Business licenses (clearly-labeled proxy)	Delaware does not open-source entity formations; new licenses are the closest official free signal

Each state is a small self-contained adapter (src/adapters/xx.py, ~50 lines over a shared Socrata client) — new states ship incrementally without touching the rest. The roster above is what is implemented and live-tested today; if a state you need is missing, ask.

Input

{
  "states": ["CO", "NY", "CT", "OR", "PA"],
  "daysBack": 7,
  "excludeRegisteredAgentAddresses": true,
  "entityTypes": ["llc"],
  "socrataAppToken": ""
}

entityTypes is an optional substring filter (llc, corporation, nonprofit...). The optional free Socrata app token raises rate limits across all covered states; anonymous access is fine for normal volumes.

"Give me every LLC formed in Colorado last week that didn't use a formation mill" — one call, agent_is_commercial: false filter on your side.

Pricing

Pay-per-result: $4 per 1,000 records ($0.004/record). Typical commercial "new business lead" providers charge $0.02–0.09 per lead for the same public-record data — this is 5–20× cheaper, from primary sources, on your schedule.

Data & fair use

All data comes from official state open-data portals (Socrata SODA APIs) that exist precisely for this kind of programmatic access, fetched with paging, backoff and polite pacing. Records are public business filings; the actor deliberately emits no officer/member personal data.
