About Colorado business records
Colorado files are online only: formation, periodic reports and name reservations have an online fee and no paper option, and certificates of good standing are free online. Colorado publishes its full business entity register as public domain open data, updated daily.
The Colorado Secretary of State, Business and Licensing Division keeps these records. The search on this page asks the Colorado Secretary of State open data each time you run it.
Coverage: Every Colorado business entity, updated daily by the state.

Questions
Is this the official Colorado business search?
No. Open State Index is independent and has no tie to the Colorado Secretary of State or any other government body. It passes your search to the Colorado Secretary of State open data and links to the official search (Business Database Search); confirm anything official with the state.
How current are the results?
As current as the Colorado Secretary of State open data: each search is sent when you run it, and an answer is kept for at most 24 hours before it is asked again.
How do I check if a business name is available in Colorado?
Use the Secretary of State's name availability search, which says directly whether a specific name is available; a name must be distinguishable from every entity name already on record.
