Frequently asked questions

When do I need to file articles of amendment?

What are compliance calendar services?

Keeping your company in good standing with the government is an important part of running a business. If you miss a filing requirement or deadline, your company could be subject to fines and other penalties that could impact your operating ability and bottom line. Compliance calendar services relieve some of the burden of managing these important deadlines.

What is a registered agent and why do I need one?

A registered agent is a person or a company designated to receive documents on behalf of a business. Most states require corporations and LLCs to name a registered agent, so there’s a designated party to receive service of process in the event of a lawsuit.

What are annual reports?

Annual reports are forms that keep your business’s information—its name, address, managers, etc.—up to date with the state. They must be filed with the Secretary of State (or other state filing office) every year—in some states, every two or ten years. The name, definition, and scope of the reports can vary, but most states require businesses to file them on a regular basis. If you fail to file a report, you could face fines, penalties, and the loss of your liability protection.

Do I need licenses for my business?

More than likely, you need licenses to legally run your business and meet all local, county, state, and federal requirements. The exact number of licenses you need depends on your industry and location. It’s important to get all required licenses before you start operating your business or open your doors to the public. Otherwise, you could face fines and other penalties.
