Our Annual Compliance Process
How we keep your US company compliant and in good standing, year after year.
Deadline Monitoring
Our compliance platform automatically tracks all mandatory filing deadlines for your specific state of incorporation, including Annual Reports and Franchise Tax payments.
Report Preparation
Ahead of the deadline, our compliance team prepares all necessary reports and forms required by the state. We ensure all information is accurate and up-to-date based on your company's records.
Filing and Fee Payment
We electronically file the prepared reports with the relevant Secretary of State and handle the payment of any mandatory state fees or franchise taxes on your behalf.
Confirmation and Good Standing
Once the state confirms the filing has been accepted, we upload the confirmation documents to your secure portal and verify that your company's 'Good Standing' status is active for another year.

What is the annual compliance process?
Our process involves four steps: 1) We monitor all state filing deadlines for your company. 2) We prepare the necessary Annual Report and/or Franchise Tax forms. 3) We submit the filings to the state on your behalf. 4) We provide confirmation and update your company's status to 'Good Standing' in your portal.
Is this process automated?
Yes. Once you are subscribed to our Vitals or Elite plan, our compliance system automatically tracks your deadlines and initiates the filing process. You don't have to worry about remembering dates.
What information do you need from me?
For the initial setup, we confirm your company details. For ongoing annual filings, we typically require no action from you, as we handle the entire process. We will only contact you if the state requires specific information that has changed, such as a company address.
