Who has to file Initial Reports?
The requirement to file an initial report (which is really any report due before your one-year anniversary) varies by state. Our automated process will notify you if there is an Initial Report due in your state. You may also check our learning center for the details in your state.
When are initial reports due?
Usually, they are due within a month or two from when you incorporate. This exact deadline varies in each state. We will send you a reminder through our automated system when your due date approaches. You can also check our learning center for more or contact one of our business professionals.
What is included in the initial report?
The complexity of the initial report varies by state. Generally speaking, you must usually provide updated information regarding location and owners. Our specialists know exactly what information you will need.
Are the initial reports available to the public?
This, too, varies by states. Rarely do the states disclose any financial information provided to them. Some states, however, do disclose ownership or other basic information. If you are concerned about that, you can visit with one of our business specialists who may help you convert your entity to a state where there are less disclosures.
What happens if I don’t timely file my initial report?
States impose fines and penalties if you fail to file your initial report or file it late. More importantly, many states will suspend or terminate your entity if you fail to make the proper filings.
Each and every one of our customers is assigned a personal Business Specialist. You have their direct phone number and email. Have questions? Just call your personal Business Specialist. No need to wait in a pool of phone calls.
