Coverage — which states, which windows, what is NOT included
Data as of 2026-09-05. Republishes new-business registrations from FOUR states' own official open-data registries (CO, CT, NY, OR) for the window each state publishes — NOT a national register, not an official formation statistic, and never a list of people.
Included: 4 states, 47,195 records
| state | status at refresh | window | dates covered | records |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO | fresh | registrations in the trailing 28 days | 2026-08-08 → 2026-09-05 | 15,390 |
| CT | fresh | registrations in the trailing 28 days | 2026-08-08 → 2026-09-05 | 4,895 |
| NY | fresh | formation filings in the trailing 28 days | 2026-08-08 → 2026-09-05 | 19,643 |
| OR | fresh | the latest published month of registrations | 2026-07-01 → 2026-07-31 | 7,267 |
Not included
- Any state other than those listed — 46 states are NOT covered.
- Owner, officer, member, registered-agent or filer names — never fetched by the upstream feed (entity-level only).
- Trade names that look like a bare personal name (OR) — excluded and counted, never stored.
- NY filings that are not new-entity formations (biennial statements, amendments, dissolutions, assumed names).
- Registrations outside each state's covered window (CO/CT/NY: trailing 28 days; OR: latest published month).
- Any count of 'new businesses' beyond the records listed — record counts are counts of THIS feed's records, not a state's total formation statistics.
States attempted and excluded (with evidence, never guessed)
- HI — Socrata discovery API returns 404 for opendata.hawaii.gov catalog queries (probed live 2026-09-05, probe/bodies has the failing calls logged in probe output); no verified keyless endpoint, so excluded rather than guessed.
- VT — data.vermont.gov catalog searched live 2026-09-05 for business registrations: no business-registry dataset exists on the portal (probe/bodies/catalog_data.vermont.gov.json, catalog2_).
- WA — No FREE bulk source found (probed live 2026-09-05). data.wa.gov's catalog search for business registrations returns licensing/contractor/liquor datasets but no SoS corporations register (probe/bodies/catalog_data.wa.gov.json); sos.wa.gov's corporations-data page 404s; ccfs.sos.wa.gov is the search UI (bulk data subscriptions there are account-gated, not free-bulk). Excluded under the free-bulk-only V1 rule.
Every other state: not attempted in this version. The upstream feed admits only states publishing free, bulk, machine-readable registration data with a registration date from an official portal.
