Common Questions About Your Business Report
Generally, if you’re an incorporated business — a Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), S Corporation or C Corporation — you will need to file a report.
Sometimes. A report that’s filed every two years is known as a “biennial report.” Some states call Annual Report “statements of information.”
It varies from state to state, but typically includes any changes to:
- The management structure of your business (like managers, members or directors)
- The names or addresses of senior people in your business
- Your business name or address
- Your registered agent details
- Main business activities
- Share structures or amounts
- Other authorized signatories
- Some other areas
If you don’t file a report, you may have to pay a penalty fee or taxes. If you continue not to file, your business may be involuntarily dissolved, meaning it will lose its legal status (which can have serious implications).
