Public records intel
Every business day, new LLCs and corporations file with the Arizona Corporation Commission. Each filing is a company that just legally came into existence — and each one is a business that will need a website, bookkeeping, insurance, a registered agent, and branding in its first months. This page is the honest version of that story: real numbers from our tracking dataset, not marketing estimates.
Our tracker has logged 34,121 LLC and corporation filings as of September 15, 2026. In the last 30 days alone, 6,947 new filings came in — an average of about 232 per day.
The count grows daily — the figures above refresh from live data when you load this page, and the static numbers reflect the dataset as of the date shown.
That pace makes sense for a state this size. The point for you is the composition: these aren't dormant shell companies from a decade ago. The filing date is the formation date, so a list sorted by filing date is a list of businesses in their first days of existence.
Of the 34,121 tracked filings, 32,088 (~94%) are LLCs and 1,945 (~6%) are corporations, with a small remainder classified as other. LLCs dominate because formation is cheap, fast, and low-hassle — which is exactly why the average Arizona LLC is a service business: a contractor, a consultant, a shop, a solo founder. Those are the companies with immediate, practical buying needs.
Formation volume is concentrated in the same places Arizona's population is. Maricopa County accounts for 30,342 (~89%) of tracked filings; Pima County is second with 3,690 (~11%). Everything else is a long tail.
Practically: if you sell to new businesses, Phoenix metro is where the volume lives, and Tucson is the clear second market. Territory planning is simple — run the county column and you know exactly where this week's new businesses are.
Filings are classified into 20 industry buckets based on what the entity states at formation. The most active tracked buckets:
One honest caveat: about 46% of filings (15,574) fall into an "Other / Unknown" bucket, because many new businesses don't state a clear industry at formation. Treat the classification as a first clue, not gospel — the value is the filing itself, not the label.
A company that filed last week has needs a company that filed five years ago solved long ago. Every new filing is a business that just became real, and real means:
This is also why formation leads beat cold lists. A cold list is anyone — a formation list is businesses that just became public. The company is new, reachable, and actively making purchasing decisions. A week-old filing is a warm prospect; a six-month-old list is a graveyard.
Anyone selling something a new business needs in its first year: web designers and agencies, bookkeepers and accountants, insurance agents, registered-agent services, marketing and branding folks, bank and credit-card processors. If your pitch works on "you just started a company," this data tells you exactly who just started one.
