File Corporate Amendments Before 2011
|
Once you have incorporated your business, whether as a Corporation or an LLC, you might find, down the road, that you need to make some changes or update your company's information with the secretary of state's office.
Fortunately, nothing regarding your business is carved in stone, and you can make changes regarding several aspects of the company. In most states, however, you will be required to file Articles of Amendment, which are documents that notify the state of the changes you are making to your Corporation or LLC.
Articles of Amendment are an important aspect of the incorporation process. It's essential that everything about your business is completely legal and meets all state requirements, at all times. For this reason, it's really imperative that you pay attention to any and all changes in the company, in order to maintain full compliance with the state office. CorpNet (R) can help you take the worry out of staying within the guidelines by assisting you with filing your Articles of Amendment on your behalf.

What Changes Will I Need to Document?
|
Any change that alters your Articles of Incorporation (for a corporation) or Articles of Organization (for an LLC) must be recorded with the filing of Articles of Amendment with the state office within your particular state.
For example, any changes to the name of your company, your business address, the board of directors or members (some jurisdictions), or changes in the business activity of the company all may require the filing of Articles of Amendment.

When Should I File Articles of Amendment?
|
In many instances, filing Articles of Amendment is generally best done before the end of the year. However, you may file Articles of Amendment at any time, as necessary, to make fundamental changes to your Corporation or LLC.
As with so many other business-related activities, it comes down to taxes. Assuming your business operates on the calendar year, any changes that will impact your tax status should certainly be dealt with before December 31st - it will be better to start the new tax year with all of your changes in place.
This may apply to an LLC as well as a corporation. Even though an LLC is not generally considered a separate taxable entity, if you have chosen the option of being taxed as a corporation, take care of your amendments before the year ends!
