What we do

Core service · All 50 states

Annual Report Filing

We prepare and submit your company's annual report to the state on your behalf, after you review and approve every detail.

Most LLCs and corporations must file an annual or periodic report with the state where they are registered to confirm or update their information and stay in good standing. Requirements, deadlines, and state fees vary by state. We start from your company's current public record, collect any changes from you, prepare the report, and submit it once you approve it.

What's included

• Lookup of your entity's current state record using your company name or state file number
• Preparation of the annual report with your principal and mailing addresses, registered agent, officers, managers or members, and, where the state asks for it, your Employer Identification Number (EIN)
• Updates to any of that information you ask us to include in the same filing
• A plain-language summary for you to review and approve before anything is submitted
• Submission to the state's business filing office, online wherever the state offers it
• Your filing confirmation and a copy of the filed report sent to you by email

Available for limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations registered in any of the 50 states. In most states, an annual report cannot change a company's name; a name change requires a separate amendment.

Ongoing service

Registered Agent Service

We designate a registered agent for your company with a physical street address in your state of registration, and forward legal papers and state correspondence to you promptly.

Each state requires a business entity to maintain a registered agent: a person or business with a physical street address in that state who is available during normal business hours to accept service of process (legal papers) and correspondence from the state for the company. Our registered agent service fills that role for your company so important documents are received, logged, and sent to you without delay.

What's included

• A registered agent with a physical street address in your state of registration (no P.O. boxes)
• Acceptance of service of process and state correspondence during normal business hours
• Prompt scanning and email notice of documents received, with the originals forwarded on request
• Preparation and submission of the change-of-registered-agent filing when you switch to us
• Updates to your registered agent information when your annual report is filed

Availability by state, the registered agent name, and the address that will appear on the public record are confirmed with you before you enroll.

Ongoing service

State Compliance Monitoring

We track your company's state filing deadlines and record status, send reminders well ahead of each due date, and help keep your company information on file accurate and current.

Staying in good standing usually comes down to two things: filing on time and keeping the state record accurate. Our compliance monitoring keeps an eye on both, so you know what is due, when it is due, and whether anything on your public record needs attention.

What's included

• A compliance calendar for your company's annual report and other recurring state filings
• Reminders by email (and by text message only if you opt in) ahead of each filing window and due date
• Periodic checks of your entity's status on the state's public record (for example, Active or Inactive)
• An annual review of the addresses, officers, managers, and registered agent listed for your company, with any outdated items flagged for you
• A simple record of the filings we have submitted for you

Monitoring and reminders are informational. You decide whether and when to file, and nothing is submitted without your approval.

As needed

Amendments & Information Updates

When your company's details change during the year, we prepare and submit the filing that updates the state record, such as an amended annual report or a change of registered agent.

Businesses move, add or remove managers and officers, and change registered agents. When something changes between annual reports, we identify the filing the state uses for that update, prepare it with your information, and submit it after you approve it.

What's included

• Principal office and mailing address changes
• Adding, removing, or updating officers, directors, managers, or authorized members
• Change of registered agent or registered office address
• Adding or correcting your Employer Identification Number (EIN) on the record, where the state collects it
• Guidance on which state form applies when a change, such as a name change, requires a separate amendment

We prepare and submit filings based on information you provide. We do not draft operating agreements, bylaws, or other legal documents.

As needed

Reinstatement Filing

If your company was administratively dissolved or revoked for not filing its annual report, we prepare and submit the reinstatement application together with the past-due annual reports the state requires.

When an annual report is not filed in time, a state may administratively dissolve or revoke a company on its records. In many cases the company can be reinstated by filing a reinstatement application and the annual reports that were missed. We assemble that filing for you and submit it once you approve it.

What's included

• Review of your entity's current status and the filings needed to reinstate
• Preparation of the reinstatement application and any past-due annual reports
• Submission to the state and your confirmation once the state processes it

Reinstatement decisions are made by the state. We cannot guarantee approval, and if your situation involves legal questions we will recommend that you speak with an attorney.
