So we don't send reminders. We prepare the filing, put it in front of you for one click, submit it, and file the confirmation. The deadline is our problem.
They were reminded. Three times. The emails are still in the inbox, unread, under six hundred others. Being told about a deadline and meeting it are different activities, and the industry has spent twenty years selling the first one while pretending it's the second.
An email. Then another at 14 days. Then one at 3 days, by which point you're travelling. Each one hands the work back to you and calls it a service.
Then the portal wants a file number you don't have, a password nobody remembers, and a payment method that isn't in your name. It goes back on the list. The list is where filings go to die.
We pull the current record, complete the form, show you the changed fields and the fee, and submit it the moment you approve. If you don't respond, we call you. Then we call again.
Not tax returns, not licences, not anything requiring a legal opinion. The corporate-record layer — which is exactly the layer nobody owns.
The recurring filing that confirms your entity still exists and who runs it. Names vary by jurisdiction — annual report, periodic report, statement of information, annual registration. We track which one yours is, when it's due, what it costs, and we file it.
Where a jurisdiction imposes one, the informational filing that accompanies it is a corporate obligation, not an accounting one — and missing it forfeits your right to transact. We prepare and file the report; your accountant handles the tax computation itself.
Also called a certificate of existence or of fact. Lenders, buyers, counterparties and licensing bodies all ask for one, always at 4pm on a Friday. We order it, and if the entity isn't in good standing we tell you why before you find out from them.
If an entity has already been administratively dissolved or had its charter forfeited, we work out what's outstanding, file the delinquent reports, pay the penalties and file the reinstatement. It is recoverable. It is not cheap, and it is not fast.
When your agent or registered office changes, the record must be updated in every jurisdiction where the entity is registered. We file the change everywhere at once, and we don't charge for it when the new agent is us.
Trading under a name other than the entity's legal name usually requires a filing, sometimes at both jurisdiction and county level, and it expires on a cycle of its own. We file it, and we put the renewal on the calendar so it doesn't quietly lapse.
Resolutions, consents, officer and manager changes, ownership ledger, amendments. A digital minute book that's actually current — because the first thing diligence asks for is the one thing nobody has maintained since formation.
Name changes, purpose changes, share authorisations, converting from member-managed to manager-managed. Drafted from your resolution so the record and the paperwork say the same thing.
Loaded from the public record when you sign up, kept current afterwards, and visible to whoever you give access to.
Illustrative data. Obligation names, cycles and fees vary by jurisdiction and entity type; yours are loaded from your actual record.
Missing a report doesn't produce a fine and a stern letter. It produces a slow revocation of the thing you formed the company for.
The entity doesn't disappear. It stops being a shield — which is worse, because you go on operating as though it still is one.
The single reason you formed the entity. Once it's dissolved, a claimant has a much easier argument that the people behind it are personally on the hook for what happened afterwards.
An entity not in good standing frequently can't maintain an action in its own jurisdiction's courts. Someone owes you money and you find out you can't collect until you're reinstated.
After dissolution the name is often released back to the register. Somebody else can take it. That is a genuinely irreversible loss, unlike everything else on this list.
Lenders pull a good standing certificate at closing. A dissolved entity means the loan does not fund that day, and often not that month. Accounts can be frozen for the same reason.
Most commercial agreements contain a representation that the entity is validly existing and in good standing. Being dissolved can put you in breach of agreements that had nothing to do with it.
Every missed report is still owed, each with its own penalty and interest, plus the reinstatement fee itself. The bill is cumulative, and there is usually a window after which it's not available at all.
A report costs a state fee and ten minutes. Reinstating from it costs the back reports, the penalties, the reinstatement fee, our time, and somewhere between three weeks and three months during which your company can't do the things companies do. The gap between those two numbers is the entire product on this page.
This is what "done for you" means in practice. Your entire contribution is a click, and if you don't click, we chase you.
