A new online resource offers economic indicators and information about other trends affecting Colorado businesses.

The Colorado Secretary State’s Office joined with the business research division of the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder to launch the Colorado Business and Economic Indicator (CBEI) Dashboard.

“The business environment is dynamic, and getting timely economic information is vital to making important business decisions,” said Secretary of State Jena Griswold. “That’s why we’re pleased to work with our partners at the Leeds School of Business to provide businesses, as well as those interested in Colorado’s economy, this valuable and easy-to-use resource.”  

Brian Lewandowski, executive director of the business research division at the Leeds School of Business, said the division has worked with the secretary of state’s office for more than a decade to summarize and analyze business filings in the state. The Secretary of State’s Business Intelligence Center offers information about startups and business health in the state.

“This has been a valuable partnership for Leeds, providing us with a better understanding of business health and a platform to share economic information broadly to the business community,” Lewandowski said.

 The  CBEI Dashboard combines business filings with other state and national economic metrics and presents the information in an interactive format, Lewandowski said.

The CBEI Dashboard reports new business filings, existing entity renewals, delinquencies and dissolutions as well as information about trade names and trademarks. Additional economic information about the labor market and gross domestic product also is available.

The CBEI Dashboard uses an interface with charts and tables on multiple tabs that are easy to navigate as well as interactive filters and tools designed to provide relevant data efficiently.
