The state鈥檚 Quarterly Business and Economic Indicators report is prepared by the (BRD) at CU Boulder in conjunction with the baby直播app Secretary of State鈥檚 Office. The report shows an economy that is slowly improving, but may have stalled at the end of 2020.
A total of 34,630 corporations, nonprofits and other entities filed initial documents with the Secretary of State鈥檚 Office in the fourth quarter of 2020. New entities filings increased 22.1% year-over-year, continuing a trend of strong gains since May, but the rate fell 10.5% from the previous quarter.
Existing entity renewals remained stable in the most recent quarter, with nearly 150,000 entities filing for renewals. Dissolution filings, in contrast, climbed in the fourth quarter of 2020. More than 10,000 businesses dissolved in that period, an 8.1% increase from the previous year and an 18.7% increase from the previous quarter.
