Locating your financial company in Metro Denver is a smart investment.
As the "Wall Street of the West," the Metro Denver and Northern Colorado region is one of the few areas outside of the northeast with a substantial financial services industry in three key market segments: banking and finance, investments, and insurance.
The region ranks fourth among the 50 largest metro areas for employment concentration in banking and finance, seventh for investments, and 23rd in insurance. The financial services industry includes over 11,930 companies and 93,950 employees.
A central location with global access helps financial services companies in the region expand their competitive edge. With our unique geographic location in the Mountain time zone, we’re the largest metro area in the country with one-bounce satellite uplinks, providing real-time satellite connections to six of seven continents in the same business day.
With 18 direct international flights from Denver International Airport daily, it’s easy to reach new customers throughout the world. And if contingency is important to your company, you should know that our natural disaster risk is minimal compared to the east, west, and southern coasts.
Plus, recruiting and finding talent in the region is never a problem since Colorado ranks second in the country for percentage of residents with a bachelor’s degree. In fact, the region has a stronger than average concentration of financial services employees, with 6.4 percent of the regional workforce employed in financial services-related occupations, compared to a U.S. average of 4.5 percent.
From global giants to regional players, a growing number of financial services companies are capitalizing on our highly educated and affordable workforce, low operation access, and central location. Do the math. You'll like how our numbers add up.
