Pennsylvania New Businesses

Methodology

Each run reads an official file or API. A second run updates the same record and does not open a second page.

Processing

The importer stores the raw response apart from the public row. A page exists when the name, the portal, the date and a stable source id are present.

The department refreshes the file monthly. A business is listed when its creation date is on or after 1 January 2025.

Left out of reports and the widget

The monthly report and the embed widget do not include names of natural persons, street addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses or IP addresses.

They keep counts: day, city, region and legal form.

Officer names and titles may appear on the company page because they are in the public file. Reports and the widget leave person names and street addresses out.
