New Business Filings API — Fresh LLC Registrations by State

The New Business Filings actor is an API that pulls newly registered LLCs and corporations straight from official state open-data portals — Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Delaware — and returns one clean, normalized record per filing, with formation-mill filings flagged.

Capabilities

What it does

Primary-source freshness

The same public-record data list brokers resell — at the source, on your schedule. Every new entity needs banking, insurance, bookkeeping, a website, payroll and phones, and on day one it has none of them.

Formation-mill noise removed

Filings made through Registered Agents Inc, Northwest, CSC, LegalZoom, ZenBusiness and the like list the agent's office as the address. Those are auto-flagged agent_is_commercial and their addresses blanked, so your outreach lists aren't polluted with 5,000 “businesses” at 30 N Gould St.

One schema across states

Entity name, state, filing date, entity type, status, registered agent, address, and a link to the official source record — identical fields for every covered state.

Business data only

Entity, filing, status and registered-agent information. No officer home addresses, no personal data.

Playbook

How people use it

Day-one B2B outreach

Insurance agents, bookkeepers, web designers, payroll and banking teams: schedule a daily pull for your states and reach brand-new businesses the week they file, before they've picked vendors.

Replacing list brokers

Brokers charge $0.20–$0.75 per lead for this same public data, aged by weeks. At $0.004 per record you get it at primary-source freshness, filtered your way.

Market monitoring

Count formations by state, entity type and week to track local business formation trends — an economic indicator straight from the source.

CRM enrichment pipelines

Webhook each run into your CRM, dedupe against existing accounts, and auto-create timed outreach tasks for the fresh filings.

Integration

Questions

Frequently asked

Which states are covered?

Colorado, New York, Connecticut, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Delaware — each from its official state open-data feed. Coverage details differ by state (e.g. NY doesn't publish agent names; Oregon rolls monthly) and are documented honestly per state.

How fresh are the leads?

As fresh as the state publishes: Colorado and Connecticut update daily; New York publishes a daily filings feed; Oregon rolls monthly. Run daily with daysBack: 1–7 for a continuous feed.

What is the formation-mill flag?

Commercial registered agents (LegalZoom, ZenBusiness, Northwest, CSC, …) file thousands of entities at their own office address. Those records are flagged agent_is_commercial: true and the useless office address is blanked by default.

Is this personal data?

No — business-context records only: entity, filing, status and registered-agent business information. No officer home addresses, no consumer data.
