Fresh Incorporations: Colorado — August 28, 2026

657 entities registered 2026-08-28. 608 are new businesses formed here; 49 were companies already operating elsewhere and 0 were not in good standing. 253 are owner-run — a named person as registered agent, at the business's own address.

The day, by segment

Professional services — 42 new (23 owner-run)

and 32 more in this segment.

Real estate & holdings — 29 new (16 owner-run)

and 19 more in this segment.

Retail & wholesale — 23 new (1 owner-run)

and 13 more in this segment.

Retail is the standout on this day, and not in a good way for a salesperson: 1 of 23 is owner-run, against roughly half the day overall. Most of these filed through a commercial registered agent, and several share their agent's address rather than having one of their own. That does not say anything about the businesses; it says they are hard to reach.

Construction & trades — 22 new (14 owner-run)

and 12 more in this segment.

Health & wellness — 18 new (9 owner-run)

and 8 more in this segment.

Technology — 14 new (5 owner-run)

and 4 more in this segment.

Beauty & personal care — 8 new (4 owner-run)

Transport & logistics — 8 new (4 owner-run)

Automotive — 7 new (5 owner-run)

Cleaning & facilities — 6 new (6 owner-run)

Every cleaning business registered today is owner-run — as in New York on the same day, the most consistently reachable segment there is.

Food & hospitality — 5 new (3 owner-run)

No industry signal in the name — 426 new (163 owner-run)

The largest group of the day and the honest limit of what a registry publishes. Colorado records no industry, purpose or activity code, so a filing's sector can only be guessed from its name — and 426 of 608 names say nothing about what the business does. These are not "other"; they are unclassified.

Where the day came from

• 83 filings (12.6%) at 1500 N GRANT ST STE N, DENVER 80203
• 72 filings (11.0%) at 1500 N GRANT ST STE R, DENVER 80203
• 10 filings (1.5%) at 1900 W LITTLETON BLVD, LITTLETON 80120
• 10 filings (1.5%) at 4845 PEARL E CIRCLE SUITE 101 PMB 53, BOULDER
• 10 filings (1.5%) at 7700 E ARAPAHOE RD STE 220, CENTENNIAL 80112

One building — 1500 N Grant Street in Denver — was the registered-agent address for 155 of the day's 657 filings, 23.6% of everything Colorado registered, across two suites operated under different agent names. These are registered-agent addresses, and a high count means a formation service rather than anything about the businesses themselves. For a reader of this feed it means one thing: those companies are reached through an agent, not at a door.

What this edition leaves out

49 filings were foreign qualifications — companies that already exist in another state and were registering to operate here. 0 were excluded for not being in good standing. 85 filings sit at an address shared by three or more of the day's other filings. 583 scored leads fall outside the per-segment samples above. Industry matched 29.9% of the day's leads. The query did not hit its row ceiling.

How this is built. Source: Colorado Secretary of State business registry (https://data.colorado.gov/d/4ykn-tg5h). Every entity registered on the day is read, then anything that is not a fresh incorporation here is removed — foreign qualifications and entities not in good standing.

Each remaining filing is scored 0–100 on how SERVICEABLE it is as a lead, not on the quality of the business: reachability (max 35, highest when a named person is the registered agent at the business's own address), locality (max 20), premises (max 20, which falls as more of the day's filings share the same address), entity form (max 15) and whether the name carries an industry signal (max 10).

The day is presented by segment rather than as a ranking, because most owner-run filings score identically and a registry publishes nothing that would honestly separate them. At most 10 leads appear per segment and the remainder is counted.

Industry is inferred from the entity's NAME — the registry publishes no industry code — and matched 29.9% of this day's leads. A blank is a blank, not an "other".
