Source: UCC financing statements published as open data by the Colorado Department of State, loaded every morning. Last updated November 11, 2026. Counts cover businesses' equipment filings only: consumer solar, tool accounts, liens on injury claims and filings against people or sole proprietors are left out. “Active” means not terminated or lapsed. “Likely ending” means a 36, 48 or 60 month term from the filing date ends within six months; the filing itself doesn't state the term.
