Looking to start a new Colorado business? The state of Colorado has launched a new web site to make that process much easier. MyBiz.Colorado.gov was developed jointly by the Governor’s office and the Secretary of State.
The project engaged more than a half-dozen state agencies working together to provide new businesses a better way to meet many state requirements. The project began because of Governor John Hickenlooper and Secretary of State Wayne William’s shared goal for Colorado to offer the best possible service for the business community. It’s this approach that gives Colorado its well-deserved “business friendly” reputation and encourages so many new businesses to become part of our state. MyBiz.Colorado.gov provides a single system to interact with multiple state agencies responsible for new businesses, including the Secretary of State’s Office, Department of Revenue, Department of Labor and Employment, and Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The new site is accessible and intuitive, and efficiently helps businesses register with state agencies and obtain necessary licenses and permits. Users will find a resource library and tutorials to help plan and develop new businesses. There are numerous prompts along the way for help and to contact the right person who can answer questions. The site is also available in Spanish. With MyBizColorado.gov, you’ll find what you need in one place—instead of having to go to individual websites for the departments of Labor and Employment, Revenue, and others. The site will be especially helpful for small businesses that don’t have the resources or staff of big corporations. Be sure to check out MyBizColorado.gov.
