# List of newly registered LLCs: which states publish it free

By Rotomal team · Updated 2026-10-29 · Part of [Filing Feed](https://rotomal.com/new-business-filings/)

**Short answer:** Five states publish new business filings on free open-data portals you can filter by date: Colorado, Connecticut and New York update daily, Pennsylvania and Oregon monthly. In our check on 29 October 2026, Colorado recorded 2,819 new domestic LLCs formed from 19 to 25 October 2026, New York's daily feed held 3,668 distinct Articles of Organization for the same week, and Connecticut registered 1,122 LLCs. Florida offers free daily filing files by secure FTP, while some other states sell bulk data; Kentucky, for example, charges commercial users $2,000 a month.

## States with free new-filing data, checked 29 October 2026

Each link opens the state's own dataset page. We ran our own query on each dataset on 29 October 2026; the counts below are distinct businesses for the dates shown (outlet permits for Texas).

| State | Dataset | Update schedule | Latest date in our check | Our count for one week | Link |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Colorado | Business Entities in Colorado | Daily | 28 Oct 2026 | 3,721 entities formed 19–25 Oct, 2,819 of them domestic LLCs | https://data.colorado.gov/d/4ykn-tg5h |
| New York | Daily Corporation and Other Entity Filing Data (filings processed in the last 30 days) | Daily | 28 Oct 2026 | 3,668 Articles of Organization and 1,280 Certificates of Incorporation filed 19–25 Oct (distinct DOS IDs; the feed repeats some rows) | https://data.ny.gov/d/k4vb-judh |
| New York | Active Corporations: Beginning 1800 | Listed as monthly | 27 Oct 2026 | 5,368 still-active entities first filed 19–25 Oct | https://data.ny.gov/d/n9v6-gdp6 |
| Connecticut | Connecticut Business Registry - Business Master | Daily | 28 Oct 2026 | 1,262 businesses registered 19–25 Oct, 1,122 of them LLCs | https://data.ct.gov/d/n7gp-d28j |
| Pennsylvania | Registered Businesses in PA Current by County | Monthly (last update 6 Oct 2026) | 2 Oct 2026 | 2,419 active businesses created 21–27 Sep, 2,099 of them domestic LLCs | https://data.pa.gov/d/xvd7-5r2c |
| Oregon | New Businesses Registered Last Month | Monthly (last update 14 Oct 2026) | 30 Sep 2026 | 1,839 registrations 21–27 Sep; 7,904 in all of September | https://data.oregon.gov/d/esjy-u4fc |
| Texas (proxy) | Active Sales Tax Permit Holders (Comptroller) | Last update 24 Oct 2026 | 24 Oct 2026 | 3,634 sales-tax outlet permits issued 12–18 Oct | https://data.texas.gov/d/jrea-zgmq |

Pennsylvania's file lists active registrations only. Oregon's includes assumed business names (1,683 of the 7,904 in September). Texas sales-tax permits catch businesses that start selling taxable goods, not every new entity. The Texas Comptroller's Active Franchise Taxpayers file carries a Secretary of State charter date, but only 31 entities had a charter date of 12–18 October 2026 in our check, so new Texas entities reach that file with a lag.

## What each state's file contains

- Colorado: entity name, type, status, formation date, principal and mailing addresses, registered agent name and address.
- New York (daily filings): filing type, entity type, name, filing and effective dates, county of principal office, filer and service-of-process name and address.
- Connecticut: business type, status, registration date, addresses, a business email, and a NAICS industry code. In the week of 19–25 October 2026, 1,260 of 1,262 new records had an email and 1,224 had a NAICS code.
- Pennsylvania: name, registration type, creation date, address, county, and the names of associated parties.
- Oregon: name, type, registry date, and the associated people and addresses (registered agent, members, managers).
- Texas Comptroller sales tax permits: taxpayer and outlet name and address, NAICS code, permit issue date and first sales date.

## API access

All five states and Texas publish on Socrata portals, so every dataset also answers as an API that can filter by date and entity type. No key is needed for light use.

Colorado's portal (data.colorado.gov) returns domestic LLCs formed since 26 October; New York's (data.ny.gov) returns LLC formations, though the feed can list the same filing twice, so de-duplicate on dos_id; Connecticut's (data.ct.gov) returns LLCs with their industry code. Colorado codes domestic LLCs as DLLC and foreign LLCs as FLLC; in our week, every DLLC row had Colorado as its jurisdiction of formation.

## States that sell bulk data instead

Where a state does not publish open data, its Secretary of State may sell bulk files. Kentucky's Bulk Data Service, for example, offers new corporate filings daily or weekly as part of a business-records subscription that costs commercial users $2,000 a month; non-commercial users such as researchers pay no monthly fee.

Bulk files are not always paid: Florida's Division of Corporations offers free daily files of the filings added to its records each work day, by browser or secure FTP. If your state is not in the table above, look on its Secretary of State site for a bulk-data, data-request or open-data page. Terms, formats and prices differ by state.

## City business licenses: Chicago as an example

Cities license many businesses separately from state filings. Chicago publishes every business license issued since 2002 on its open data portal (data.cityofchicago.org) and updates the dataset daily; records with application type ISSUE belong to the initial license application. In our check, 155 new licenses were issued from 19 to 25 October 2026, including 25 retail food establishments and 28 limited business licenses.

## A filing is not a storefront

- Foreign registrations are existing companies from other states: FLLC rows in Colorado, Applications of Authority in New York (413 in the week of 19–25 October 2026).
- The address on file may belong to a registered-agent or formation service rather than the business.
- Some new LLCs hold property or other assets rather than trade, so filter by industry or name keywords where you can.
- The filing date is not an opening date; treat a new filing as a reason to research, not proof of an operating business.

## Using new-filing data for outreach responsibly

- The FTC says CAN-SPAM makes no exception for business-to-business email: identify the message as an ad, include a postal address, and honor opt-outs within 10 business days.
- The National Do Not Call Registry covers personal numbers, not business lines. A small business may list a personal mobile number, and the TCPA restricts autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to mobile numbers without prior express consent.
- A filing can show a home address; treat names and addresses as personal data.
- Respect each portal's terms and rate limits if you collect data yourself. None of this is legal advice.

## Getting the list weekly without the plumbing

The open datasets work, but each state names its fields differently, updates on its own schedule and mixes in foreign registrations. Filing Feed reads the same official datasets, filters them to your counties, entity types and industries, removes duplicates, and emails one CSV every Monday with a source link on each row. We confirm coverage for your counties by email before you pay.

## FAQ

### Is there a free list of new LLCs in my state?

Yes, if you are in Colorado, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania or Oregon: each publishes new business filings as free open data you can filter by date. Florida's Division of Corporations offers free daily filing files by secure FTP. Elsewhere, check the Secretary of State site for a bulk-data or open-data page; some states sell bulk files instead.

### How many new LLCs are formed each week?

In our check for 19–25 October 2026: 2,819 domestic LLCs in Colorado, 3,668 Articles of Organization in New York and 1,122 LLCs in Connecticut. Volumes vary by week and state.

### Where can I find new businesses in Texas?

We did not find Secretary of State filings on the Texas open-data portal. The Comptroller's Active Sales Tax Permit Holders dataset is the most current free proxy we found: 3,634 outlet permits were issued from 12 to 18 October 2026.

### Do new business filings include owner phone numbers or emails?

Rarely. Connecticut's registry includes a business email for most new records; the Colorado, New York, Oregon and Pennsylvania files have no phone or email field.

### Can I email new business owners from these lists?

Yes, if you follow CAN-SPAM: no deceptive headers or subject lines, an ad disclosure, a postal address and a working opt-out honored within 10 business days. Calls and texts have their own rules. This is not legal advice.
