New Business Formation

Overview

New Business Formation signals surface newly registered legal entities within hours of official state recording—giving go-to-market teams access to net-new businesses before they appear in any commercial database.

Autobound operates a proprietary ingestion and normalization infrastructure spanning all 50 US states. Each state exposes entity registration data through a distinct schema, format, and delivery mechanism—with significant variation in field naming, filing taxonomy, address structure, and update cadence. Our pipeline abstracts this complexity into a single, consistent schema, resolving cross-state inconsistencies in real time and enriching records with domain and contact data where available.

Each signal includes the legal entity name, entity type, owners/organizers, principal address, registered agent, filing date, and effective date. Records are normalized against our entity resolution layer to populate company.domain where a match can be made.

The result: you know the moment a new business is registered in your territory—before they've been cold-called, enriched, or added to any competitor's database. This is the earliest possible buying signal for SMB-focused sellers, franchise developers, insurance brokers, payroll providers, attorneys, accountants, and any GTM team targeting net-new businesses.

Priority states: California, New York, Florida, and Texas are available at launch. Full 50-state coverage is on the roadmap — contact [email protected] for current state availability.

Available Subtypes

The entity_type field in the data object (e.g. LLC, Corporation, LP) provides granular filtering within this subtype.

Note on company.domain: Brand-new entities typically don't have a website at time of filing. When Autobound can resolve a domain through enrichment, it will be populated. Expect null for the majority of fresh formations.

Note on effective_date vs filing_date: Most states these are identical, but Texas and a handful of others allow deferred or backdated effective dates. Always use effective_date when timing outreach to the actual business start.
