3. Submit your report and filing fee.

The following is an easy-to-follow guide for filing the Colorado Periodic Report.

Colorado Periodic Report Due Dates and Fees

Your business’s filing period is determined by the month when you initially formed your company. Periodic reports can be filed from two months before your company’s anniversary month to the end of the second month that follows. This gives you a five month window to file.

So, if you formed your entity on June 14, then your filing period will be between April 1st and August 31, beginning the year after your business was formed. Don’t remember when you registered your business? You can easily find it by searching the Colorado Business Database.

Filing Your Colorado Periodic Report

The Colorado Periodic Report can only be filed online through the Colorado Secretary of State website.

• On the state website, click the “Business” tab on the top menu.
• Under the heading “Search & file,” click the “Periodic report filing” link.
• Enter your business’s name in the search box and click “search.”
• Select your business’s ID number in the search results. You’ll need to include this number on your periodic report, so you may want to write it down for reference.
• Then, click “confirm” to begin the online filing process.

How Our Colorado Annual Report Service Works

With Northwest’s elite Colorado Annual Report service (sometimes called “compliance service” or “periodic report service,”) you can trust that your business will stay compliant and in good standing, so you never have to worry about costly late fees or your company being administratively dissolved.

For $100 plus the state-mandated report fee, we’ll file your periodic report. For most domestic businesses, that’s $125 total.

• You can sign up for this service by itself or add it on to an existing service. Compliance service is automatically added when you hire us to provide your registered agent service or form your Colorado LLC, Colorado corporation or Colorado nonprofit.

• Once you’ve signed up for compliance service, you’ll pay nothing up front. We’ll send you a reminder at least 90 days before the report is due, and the auto charge your saved preferred method of payment a few days later.

Annual Report Service Benefits

At Northwest Registered Agent, we’re committed to protecting our clients’ privacy. Colorado Periodic Reports are public record, so we’ve designed our periodic report service to protect your privacy. Here’s how:

1. In order to preserve your privacy, we will list OUR contact information instead of yours.

2. Only the minimum required information will be included.

3. We will list our IP address – limiting the connection between your cell phone, personal computer, and work computers – this makes it harder for advertisers to follow you.

4. We will list our bank and credit card information – not yours.

We believe everyone has the right to keep their information private. That’s why privacy is our guiding principle when we create every service and product.
