Where does this New York business formation data come from?

Official New York business registry records published by the New York Department of State, Division of Corporations, collected daily by AlphaLeads and refreshed weekly on this page. Nothing here is modeled, sampled or estimated. A month is published only once New York has finished publishing it, so a slow state feed is never shown as a fall in business formation.

Want the underlying records, not the totals?

The daily feed is every one of these filings as a CSV, 24 to 72 hours after it hits the registry, with the business name, owner or agent where published, mailing address, entity type and industry classification. Pro adds a verified company website, email and phone where one exists.
