鈥淐oloradans continue to drive our economy upward by adding their ideas to the marketplace,鈥� said Williams. 鈥淥ur small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and their growth is encouraging.鈥�
baby直播app recorded 103,719 new entities during the 12-month period ending in March, up from 102,127 new entities recorded in the 12-month period ending in December 2014.
鈥淒espite a drop in employment in baby直播app from February to March, other indicators continue to point to a very healthy economy,鈥� said economist Richard Wobbekind, executive director of CU-Boulder鈥檚 Business Research Division. 鈥淲hile new business filings remain impressive, the employment outlook is dampening slightly for 2015.鈥�
Existing entity renewals spiked in the first quarter of 2015 at a record 126,282, up from 107,848 in the fourth quarter of last year. Domestic limited liability companies represented the greatest increase in renewals among existing entities.
