Frequently asked questions
What is Business Manager?
Business Manager gives you a dedicated point of contact backed by a team of SMB professionals. Your manager helps coordinate eligible filings, business changes, licensing support, tax preparation, and related next steps.
Who is it for?
It's for business owners who want hands-on support managing ongoing filings, changes, and business requirements instead of coordinating everything themselves.
What does a Business Manager handle?
Your Business Manager reviews your business's current standing, builds a compliance plan, and handles annual reports, amendments, licensing research, business changes, Certificates of Good Standing, and tax prepcoordination — with unlimited phone and email access to you.
How is this different from the self-service Compliance plans?
Self-service plans give you tools and reminders; Business Manager gives you a dedicated person who executes the filings, and proactively checks in — white-glove, start to finish.
Why would a Business Manager be beneficial for my business?
Most businesses—whether operating as an LLC, corporation, nonprofit, or DBA—must stay in compliance to remain in good standing with the government. Compliance refers to ongoing legal obligations such as state and federal filings, as well as licensing and regulatory requirements at the local, state, and federal levels.
Failure to meet these requirements can result in fines, penalties, suspension, or even closure, while staying compliant helps your business operate legally, avoid interruptions, and build trust with customers and stakeholders.
All businesses must complete recurring compliance tasks with the government to remain in good standing. This is where LegalZoom’s Business Manager becomes an invaluable partner. Our hands-on, full-service management covers these essential items and more:
- Periodic reports: File state-required reports to confirm your business information. Deadlines and requirements vary by state, making tracking them essential.
- Amendments: Report changes to your business’s name, address, or management structure (and more) to your state filing office.
- License renewals: Identify and keep your business licenses and permits up to date to avoid interruptions or penalties. LegalZoom customers can save at least four hours finding their required business licenses.
- Foreign qualification: Obtain foreign qualification to conduct business in a state other than the one where it was formed.
Do I get the same manager every time I call?
Yes. You're matched with one trained, dedicated manager who stays familiar with your business rather than a rotating support queue.
What is compliance in business?
Yes. Attorneys in our network can answer questions covering a range of practice areas including business formations, business compliance, hiring, estate planning, real estate, family law, tax law, personal claims, and more. Additionally, they are vetted for their expertise in different legal issues, and you can search our directory for an attorney that focuses in an area of law you need help with.
What are the risks of non-compliance with state business regulations?
Non-compliance will expose your business to serious consequences that affect its finances, legal standing, and reputation.
Here are the most common risks:
- Fines and penalties
- for missed filings or late reports
- Loss of good standing
- with the state
- Loss of personal liability protection
- , putting your personal assets at risk
- Loss of access to capital
- or financing opportunities
- Fraud risk
- due to inactive or lapsed business status
- Operational disruptions
- that delay or halt business activities
- Reputational damage
- that can impact customer and partner trust
Are compliance requirements different in each state?
Yes, compliance requirements can differ by state. Each state has its own set of regulations, deadlines, and filing procedures. Our Business Manager service helps you stay on top of these differences, so your business remains compliant wherever you operate.
