Someone claiming to be from your credit union asks you to read back a verification code.

🚩 That's your sign to hang up!

Never share your verification codes. If something feels off, contact your credit union directly using a trusted number.

A sole proprietorship is one of the simplest ways to operate a business, but you and the business generally aren’t legally separate.

An LLC creates a separate business structure and generally provides some protection for your personal assets.

A corporation is also separate from its owners and can offer strong liability protection, but usually comes with more paperwork and formal requirements.

The right choice depends on your business, ownership, taxes, liability and future plans, so this is one of those decisions worth reviewing with a legal or tax professional.

📌 Save this for your business planning checklist.

Colorado runs on small business.

More than 730,000 small businesses call Colorado home. They make up 99.5% of all businesses in the state and employ about 1.2 million Coloradans.

And people are still starting something new. Colorado recorded more than 182,000 new business entity filings over a recent 12-month period.

Behind those numbers are people turning an idea into something real, running a side business, opening their first location, hiring their first employee or figuring things out as they go.

If starting a business has been on your mind, we want to make some of the financial side a little easier to understand.

Over the next few months, we’ll be sharing simple tips for Colorado small business owners and people thinking about becoming one. We’ll cover things like choosing a business structure, registering your business, separating your personal and business finances, understanding your numbers, preparing for financing and more.

Already running a business? There will be plenty here for you, too.

Follow along, and save the posts you might need later.

For many business owners, the leap from renting a space to owning one can feel out of reach. The market seems opaque, financing feels complicated, and it's not always clear who to ask. Whether you're leasing your first location, outgrowing your current space, or considering ownership for the first time, the choices you make now can shape your business for years to come.

That's why we're bringing together a local commercial real estate broker, Zing Credit Union, and B:Side Capital specialists for a session covering the entire path to ownership: evaluating a property for location, zoning, and space needs; understanding how a buyer's-rep broker works on your behalf; how credit unions evaluate a small business loan application; and how alternative capital tools like an SBA 504 loan can make ownership possible when conventional financing alone doesn't get you there.
