Most US states require LLCs to file an annual report to maintain good standing. Miss the deadline and your LLC loses good standing — which can freeze your bank account, void your contracts, and strip your liability protection. We handle the filing so you never have to worry about it.
An annual report is not just a formality — it is a legal requirement that keeps your LLC in good standing with the state. Most founders do not find out their LLC has lost good standing until they try to do something important and discover the LLC is no longer recognized.
Common triggers that reveal the problem: bank asks for a good standing certificate when you try to add a signatory. Stripe or PayPal flags your account. A client asks for proof of your LLC status before signing a contract. By this point, you are looking at reinstatement fees and delays.
The only way to avoid this is to file on time, every year. We track your deadline and file automatically — you never have to remember it.
We charge $49 for preparing and filing. The state filing fee is passed through at exact cost — zero markup.
No. New Mexico, for example, does not require LLCs to file an annual report — which is one reason it is popular for privacy-conscious founders. Most other states do require annual or biennial reports. We check your specific state requirements when you order.
Your LLC will fall out of good standing. Depending on the state, this can result in late fees, administrative dissolution of your LLC, and loss of liability protection. Reinstating a dissolved LLC is more expensive and time-consuming than staying compliant in the first place.
Every state has a different deadline — some are based on your formation date, others are a fixed calendar date. When you order annual report service from us, we track your specific deadline and file before it is due. You do not need to track it yourself.
