Annual Compliance: YourLegal vs. Stripe Atlas
Keeping your company in good standing requires more than just a formation service. See how an integrated platform provides superior compliance management.
The Core Difference: Standalone vs. Integrated
Both YourLegal and Stripe Atlas understand the importance of state-level annual compliance. However, the approaches differ significantly. Stripe Atlas offers state compliance as a separate, add-on service. You pay an annual fee, and they will handle your Delaware Franchise Tax filing.
**YourLegal's approach is integrated.** Our Vitals and Elite plans include annual compliance as part of a holistic service that also covers your federal and state tax returns, and bookkeeping. This ensures that all pieces of your compliance puzzle are managed by one team, reducing complexity and the risk of errors that can occur when using multiple, disconnected providers.
| Feature | Stripe Atlas | YourLegal |
|---|---|---|
| Service Scope | Basic Annual Report / Franchise Tax filing | Holistic compliance including BOI Report & Tax |
| Integration | Standalone service; not linked to your books | Part of an integrated platform with accounting & tax |
| Proactive Management | User is responsible for initiating renewals | Automated tracking and proactive filing by our team |

Does Stripe Atlas handle my state annual reports?
Yes, Stripe Atlas offers a service to file your Delaware Annual Report and pay the Franchise Tax for an additional annual fee. However, this is a standalone service separate from your tax filings or bookkeeping.
What is the benefit of YourLegal's approach?
YourLegal's Vitals and Elite plans bundle annual compliance with your tax preparation and bookkeeping. This integrated approach is more efficient and ensures that all aspects of your compliance are managed centrally by one expert team, reducing the risk of communication gaps between different providers.
Does Stripe Atlas file the BOI Report?
This is a new and critical requirement. While Stripe Atlas may provide information, they are not a filing agent for the BOI Report. YourLegal's compliance plans include the preparation and filing of this mandatory report with FinCEN.
