What is
an annual report? 

An annual report is a comprehensive document that businesses are required to submit to state governments, typically on an annual basis. 
Submission of this report — in full, and on time — ensures that your entity remains in good standing in the state in which it is filed or registered. This allows you to retain the necessary rights to act and conduct business in that state. 

Know your entities are in good standing — always 

State report filings are complicated and time-consuming — and the penalties for missed deadlines are high.
Forms are long and cryptic.
Deadlines vary from state to state.
Keeping track of multiple entities in multiple states is overwhelming.
When you offload this burden to our seasoned team, you get more time, more peace of mind, and guaranteed compliance.

What if my business is registered in multiple states?

Due date varies by state. We stay on top of all due dates in the various states in which your entities are registered, ensuring that all reports and filings are submitted on time.

How much will it cost for you to handle this?

$50 per entity filing (plus state costs) with a substantial discount when included as part of an annual package.

What information will I need to provide?

This varies by state, but can include a description of management, beneficial ownership, diversity statement, and business contact information, among other things.
