The Colorado Secretary of State considers Periodic Reports to be compliance documents that help them keep track of any changes to your corporate structure. This could include changes to the names and addresses of any corporate officers, in addition to a change in your principal address. These annual reports in Colorado do not allow you to make changes to your business, such as changing your company name. As a matter of compliance, the reports only reflect any changes that have occurred since you last filed a year ago.
