Initial Reports for LLCs and Corporations
Several states require that Corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) file an Initial Report after registering their business. CorpNet can complete this important paperwork for you.
Initial Reports lay the foundation for the Annual Reports businesses must complete as part of their ongoing compliance responsibilities. Companies must file their Initial Reports with the Secretary of State office or comparable agency in their state.
Anyone can file an Initial Report on the behalf of the business. Generally, at least one LLC member or Corporation’s director or officer must sign the form.
States that require an Initial Report include:
- Alaska
- California (referred to as a Statement of Information)
- Connecticut (Corporations only)
- Georgia (Corporations only)
- Missouri (Corporations only)
- New Mexico (Corporations only)
Information Required
The information required on the Initial Report will vary by state. Most states ask for information about the company’s business activity and other details. This may include:
- Business name
- The business address
- Type of business activity the company will conduct
- Names and addresses for the LLC members and managers
- Names and addresses for the Corporation’s directors and officers
- Registered agent’s name and address
Depending on the state, there might be additional details to include as well.
Fees Schedule
In most states that require an Initial Report, businesses must pay a small filing fee when submitting their form. Nevada and Washington include the cost in their business registration fees.
For a minimal charge, CorpNet handles Initial Report filings for businesses to give entrepreneurs one less thing to worry about as they launch their companies.
Deadline for Filing
