Three steps. Then you stop worrying about it.
We inventory every entity you own.
List your formations, foreign qualifications, DBAs, and tax registrations. We pull the live record from every Secretary of State to verify status.
We schedule every filing on your calendar.
Every annual report, franchise tax, BOI, foreign qualification renewal, and state-specific filing is mapped, with the agency, the form, and the deadline.
We prepare, you approve, we file.
Each filing is drafted 30 days before it is due. You receive an email with the prepared form. One click approves and we submit to the agency.
If we miss a filing, we pay the penalty.
Compliance protection is the reason customers entrust us with their company. On every filing we manage, if a state or federal penalty is assessed because of an error or oversight on our part, we cover it. No exceptions, no fine print.
