Why you need to file an annual report

It is not optional. And missing it is expensive.

Stay in good standing

Your LLC needs to be in good standing to open bank accounts, apply for loans, sign contracts, and qualify for licenses. An unfiled annual report puts all of that at risk.

Avoid late fees and dissolution

Miss your annual report deadline and the state can charge late fees. Miss enough of them and the state can dissolve your LLC entirely. You lose your liability protection and your business name becomes available to anyone.

Confirm your key details

The annual report confirms your LLC’s name, address, ownership, and registered agent with the state. Keeping that record current is your legal obligation.

Qualify for banking and financing

Banks and lenders check that your LLC is in good standing before approving accounts or loans. A missed filing can block financing at the worst possible time.

Support business expansion

Registering your LLC to do business in a new state requires your home state to confirm you are in good standing. An unfiled annual report stops expansion in its tracks.

It is not a tax return

Most LLC owners confuse the annual report with a tax filing. It is not. It is a state compliance filing that confirms your business is still active and your information is current.

Annual Report Frequently Asked Questions

What is an annual report?

An annual report is a required filing with your state confirming your LLC’s key details: name, address, ownership, and registered agent. It is not a tax return. It is a compliance filing that keeps your LLC in good standing with the state.

Does every state require an annual report?

Most states require an annual report. Some require a biennial report instead, which is due every two years. Some states call it a statement of information or an annual registration. BizUp tracks the requirement for your specific state.

What happens if I miss my annual report deadline?

Penalties vary by state but can include late fees, loss of good standing, and in some cases administrative dissolution of your LLC. BizUp files before the deadline so you never have to find out.

What does the state filing fee cost?

Annual report filing fees vary by state. They are charged at cost and passed through to you with no markup from BizUp.

Do I need to do anything once I sign up for Protect or purchase an Annual Report through my plan?

We track your deadline and reach out before it arrives to confirm your current details. Once you confirm, we handle the filing.

I did not form my LLC with BizUp. Can I still get annual report filing?

Yes. Annual Reports are available through our Protect plans, available to any LLC owner, regardless of where you formed. BizUp will take over your compliance and file your annual report from there.
