The Colorado Secretary of State's website provides a basic search tool for finding business information, but it has limitations. This guide will walk you through the search process and introduce additional resources for more efficient searches.
Step 1: Access the Business Entity Search Portal
Navigate to the Colorado Secretary of State's Business Entity Search portal.
Step 2: Enter Search Criteria
On the basic search page, enter the name of the business you're searching for. Note that there are no options for filtering or limiting the search.
Tip: If too many matches are returned, the system will prompt you to enter more specific information.
Step 3: Refine Your Search
If the initial search doesn't yield the desired results, try adding an ID number starting with "1" along with the business name.
Step 4: Review Search Results
The search results page displays the ID number, business name, and address for each matching record. Keep in mind that the results include both active and dissolved businesses.
Step 5: View Business Details
Click on the ID number of the business you want to view. The "Organization Record Confirmation" page provides additional information, including:
- Registered Agent
- Current status
- Legal structure (form)
- Formation date
Note: Clicking the "Confirm" button on this page will not provide more detailed information; it will only lead to a new search page for secured transactions records.

For frequent or high-volume searches, consider using specialized tools designed to streamline the process and integrate data from multiple states. Keep in mind that Secretary of State data varies by state, making data integration complex.
