How this is measured

• Source. Official Idaho business registry records published by the Idaho Secretary of State, collected daily. Nothing here is modeled or estimated.
• Coverage. Our Idaho index begins 2026-03-09. Earlier months are not shown because our collection, not the state's activity, would explain the numbers.
• Settlement. States publish on their own schedules and some run weeks behind. Data for Idaho is settled through 2026-09-03, and only months fully inside that are published.
• Counting. One row per filed entity. We collect operating-business entity types: LLCs, corporations, professional entities such as PLLCs and PCs, limited partnerships and LLPs. The exact set of types each state publishes differs, so the mix is not identical across states and these totals are not a like-for-like ranking between them.
• Business day. Rates use weekdays only, since registries post on weekdays.
