The window

Ninety days is the whole sale

A new business buys almost everything it will ever buy in its first ninety days — insurance, banking, accounting, legal, signage, a lease, IT, a phone system, a website. After that, the incumbent has the relationship and switching costs make the call harder to land.

The effective date on a filing is the starting gun. This list brings you each new cohort as the state's file updates each month, instead of checking the Secretary of State's site by hand — and the raw file only shows the present, not a history, so between updates those names are easy to miss.

Under the hood

How we build the list

The Iowa Secretary of State publishes every active business entity as an open data file. It's a snapshot of the present — not a history.

Daily download

Every morning at 6:10 am, the full state file is pulled and archived. A new registration only exists as the difference between two consecutive days.

Metro filter

Each filing's own coordinates place it in one of four counties — Polk, Dallas, Story, Warren. Commercial registered agents are excluded so the list shows where a business actually is.

Monthly delivery

Each month's new filings are grouped by county, rendered as a clean HTML email with the full CSV attached, and sent before your first meeting.
