As Colorado businesses chart their course for 2025, the biggest takeaway from the discussion was clear: Those who stay agile and proactive will be best positioned for success.

Highlights from the Survey

Community Banks of Colorado in partnership with the Denver Business Journal conducted a survey to find out what matters most to Colorado businesses at the end of 2024.

From investments to trusted advisors, the data highlights key trends shaping business strategy this year. Efficiency and optimization lead the way, while rising interest rates are influencing how businesses approach capital.

When making big decisions, business owners lean on professionals like accountants, lawyers, and bankers. Traditional bank loans remain the most common source for funding, though other options like credit cards, equity, and savings also play a role.
