These pages are regenerated weekly from the same records that feed our daily lead feed. Figures below are free to cite with a link back to this page.
Complete months only. A month appears here once the state's own publishing has run past the end of it, so a slow upstream feed is never reported as a decline.

9,734 new business entities were registered in Pennsylvania in August 2026, based on filings published by the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations. That is the most recent month for which Pennsylvania data is complete.
About 391 new business entities are registered in Pennsylvania per business day, averaged across the 60 days ending 2026-09-01. Registries post on weekdays, so this is a per business day figure rather than a calendar day figure.
Domestic Limited Liability Company is the most common, at about 90% of recent Pennsylvania filings.
After allowing for entities whose registered name gives no industry away, the most common identifiable categories among new Pennsylvania businesses are Real Estate, Professional Services and Home Services.
Official Pennsylvania business registry records published by the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations, collected daily by AlphaLeads and refreshed weekly on this page. Nothing here is modeled, sampled or estimated. A month is published only once Pennsylvania has finished publishing it, so a slow state feed is never shown as a fall in business formation.
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.
