Use cases

Find potential clients for the services you sell

New business filings can help you discover potential accounts. Choose your industry to see what to research, which fields help and how to turn a formation signal into a relevant conversation.

Formations Feed · Reviewed October 3, 2026

Formations Feed is built for teams researching businesses in selected states. The useful question is not just “who registered?” but “which of these businesses fits what we offer?” Phone and email are available on some records, and registry roles, addresses and source dates need interpretation.

More ways to use the research

These audiences can also use formation records as a starting point. Match each record to an operating business and a relevant purpose before treating it as a prospect.

Registered agents

Research business contacts and relevant service needs. An existing agent appointment does not tell you what other services the company uses.

Business attorneys

Discover entities worth researching for a suitable professional-services conversation. A filing alone does not establish an unmet legal need.

Recruiters and HR consultants

Combine entity discovery with separately verified hiring activity. Registration does not prove a company has employees or vacancies.

Commercial property and coworking providers

Research actual location and workspace needs. A registered-agent address does not establish an office search or premises requirement.

Logistics and fulfilment providers

Research businesses that actually move goods, checking product type, service area and delivery requirements.

Business consultants and franchisors

Look for a suitable business model or a relevant development conversation, rather than inferring growth plans from formation.

Chambers and business communities

Research local operating businesses that may find membership or events useful. Verify the local connection before inviting them.

Incubators and support organisations

Identify potential organisations for further research, then assess programme fit. A formation is not proof of eligibility or a startup stage.

Journalists and market researchers

Study collected entities and filing cohorts with clear coverage limits. Collected counts are not certified statewide business totals.

Start with the question you are trying to answer

What the feed does—and what you establish

The feed supplies collected registry details and available appended contacts. A filing does not prove a new operating business, purchasing intent, missing suppliers or verified ownership. Your research and the prospect’s response establish suitability and interest.

Standard use includes your own internal business use and lawful outreach. Supplying records to clients, reselling them or embedding the dataset in a customer-facing product requires a separate written licence. Read the terms and discuss your intended use before activation.
