Governor, Secretary of State partnership
streamlines state’s registration process
Coloradans starting a new business now have a simplified, more
efficient way to register a business and obtain state licenses and
registrations.
MyBizColorado provides a single path to interact with multiple
state agencies, cutting red tape and expediting the process for a
business start-up. The new system was announced today by Governor
John Hickenlooper and Secretary of State Wayne Williams.
“I know the challenges facing start-up businesses,” said
Governor John Hickenlooper. “By streamlining the state’s processes,
we can remove some of those hurdles. MyBizColorado is another
reason Colorado is one of the best places to start and grow a new
business.”
MyBizColorado is designed to provide a user-friendly,
streamlined experience to deal with multiple agencies on essential
business start-up activities. The site is at
mybiz.colorado.gov.
Participating agencies and partners include the Department of
Labor and Employment, Department of Revenue, Department of
Regulatory Agencies, Governor’s Office of Economic Development and
International Trade, Governor’s Office of Information Technology,
Secretary of State’s Office, the Statewide Internet Portal
Authority, and Colorado Interactive.
“MyBizColorado demonstrates a common goal to provide the best
possible service for the business community. It’s rewarding to see
so many agencies sharing a unified commitment to welcome new
businesses in our state,” said Secretary of State Wayne Williams.
“MyBizColorado is one website that opens many doors. Instead of a
maze, MyBizColorado provides an easy-to-follow road map for
starting a new business.”
The new system will be especially helpful for emerging small
businesses who often don’t have the resources or staff of large
companies. Small businesses in Colorado employ one million people,
nearly half of the state’s workforce, according to the Small
Business Administration. While we often hear about large
corporations coming to Colorado, the fact is that small businesses
create 30,000 to 40,000 new jobs every year in the state.
By using MyBizColorado, you can –
- Register for a sales tax license
- Register employees for wage
withholding
- Register employees for unemployment
insurance
- Find resources to help plan a new
business and obtain professional licenses
“One of my goals as chief operating officer is to better align
the state agencies as they connect with their customers,” said
Lieutenant Governor and Chief Operating Officer Donna Lynne.
“MyBizColorado is our way of letting entrepreneurs know we
recognize what it takes to start a business. We want to make it as
efficient as possible so they can spend less time doing paperwork
and more time on growing their business.”
MyBizColorado replaces a decade-old system called the Colorado
Business Express. Its 2007 technology was slow, cumbersome and not
available for mobile platforms.
The new system is user-focused, accessible via tablets and
smartphones. The site also will intuitively direct users to the
correct call center at each participating state agency if the
client needs help or has additional questions.
