New companies from public registers

UK: Companies House

The advanced company search filters by SIC code and incorporation date, so you can list companies formed in the last few months in one trade, for example 43210 (electrical installation), 43220 (plumbing and heating), 43341 (painting) or 96020 (hairdressing and beauty). Most sole traders aren't on it.

US: state filings and licences

Every state's business entity search, usually run by the Secretary of State, lists new LLCs and corporations. States license contractors, electricians, plumbers, cosmetologists and barbers, and most publish a searchable list. Many counties publish “doing business as” names, which catches sole proprietors the state lists miss.

Canada: federal and provincial registries

Corporations Canada's federal corporation search lists federally incorporated companies. Most businesses register with their province, for example through the Ontario Business Registry or Quebec's Registraire des entreprises.

Then check each name

A register has no website field, so every name needs the checks before you get in touch.
