Stay Compliant, Stay in Business

An annual report is a required filing that most states mandate for LLCs to maintain their active status. It typically includes basic information about your company: business address, registered agent, and member/manager details. Despite the name, some states require them biennially (every two years). We track your specific state requirements and file on time.

Franchise tax is a state tax charged for the privilege of doing business in that state. Not all states have franchise tax, but notable ones like Delaware, Texas, and California do. The amount varies by state and may be based on authorized shares, revenue, or a flat fee. We calculate and file your franchise tax to ensure compliance.

Missing a deadline can result in late fees, penalties, and interest charges that accumulate over time. Continued non-compliance can lead to your LLC losing its 'good standing' status, which may prevent you from opening bank accounts, signing contracts, or conducting certain business activities. In severe cases, your LLC can be administratively dissolved by the state.

A Certificate of Good Standing (also called a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Status) is an official state document confirming your LLC is properly registered and compliant with all state requirements. Banks, investors, and business partners often request this document. We can obtain certificates on your behalf whenever you need them.

States with notable franchise tax requirements include Delaware (annual flat fee of $300 minimum), California ($800 minimum annual tax), Texas (margin tax for larger businesses), and others. Each state has different calculation methods and thresholds. We track your specific state requirements so you never overpay or miss a payment.

Filing frequency varies by state. Most states require annual reports, but some like California, Indiana, and Pennsylvania require no annual report at all. Delaware requires an annual report and franchise tax. Wyoming files annually. We maintain a compliance calendar specific to your LLC and state, sending reminders well before each deadline.

Our service fee covers the preparation and filing of your compliance documents. State filing fees (which vary by state and filing type) are separate and billed at cost with no markup. We clearly communicate all fees before filing so there are no surprises.

If your LLC has foreign qualifications in multiple states, each state has its own compliance requirements. We track all your registered states and manage compliance for each one. Our service covers multi-state compliance monitoring, so you stay in good standing everywhere you do business.
