Welcome to Colorado!

Never has there been more emphasis by companies on locating in states that offer the most competitive business climate. Never has Colorado been a better choice for you and your company.
 
Here are just a few reasons why Colorado is the location of choice for so many dynamic and diverse companies and may be for yours. The Corporation for Enterprise Development's Report Card for the States has awarded Colorado with A's in Performance, Business Vitality, and Development Capacity for nine straight years. Colorado is ranked as the fourth most "tax friendly" state, according to the Tax Foundation, and consistently places among the top 10 states for small business.

In addition to the solid business reasons to locate in the Centennial State, there is the unmatched quality of life. You and your workforce can enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine per year and pleasant moderate climate. The majestic mountains inspire residents and travelers alike to take advantage of the best skiing in the world. Other outdoor activities abound, including hiking, fishing, mountain biking, rafting, horseback riding, and golfing. There are also exciting cultural opportunities and theatrical productions at the Denver Performing Arts Complex and other venues throughout the state. For professional sports enthusiasts, Colorado boasts seven professional sports teams, so there is a sport for every season and every spectator.

In order to succeed, you need strong partners. My Office of Economic Development and International Trade provides a full range of services to assist you in your relocation or expansion efforts. The individuals in this office are committed professionals who understand business and will work with you to achieve your company's goals.

Finally, since location is everything, consider that Colorado, located along the 105th meridian, is midway between Europe and Asia, and between Canada and Mexico. Denver International Airport's state-of-the-art facilities and excellent on-time performance ensure convenient access to your customers throughout the country and the world.
I invite you to experience Colorado and discover the opportunities that await you from the Eastern Plains to the Western Slope. See why Colorado is the choice for many of the world's most successful companies.

Thank you for your consideration, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,


Bill Owens
Governor
