We will proactively alert you of upcoming business compliance events so you never miss any important deadlines and monitor your status with the state to help ensure your business remains in good standing.

Business compliance is something you need to stay on top of if you want to keep your business running. This means staying compliant with state regulations. Every state has slightly different requirements. We make it our business to know every compliance detail required by each state and take care of these requirements on your behalf. For example, most states require an annual report filing. If you have Worry-Free Compliance service with us, we will file this report for you to keep your business compliant.

Most states require you to file an annual report stating if anything changed with your business. Even if nothing has changed, you’d still need to file this report to stay in good standing. The filing date varies by state. If you have Worry-Free Compliance service with us, we will file this report on your behalf every year.

Many businesses need to make changes to things like their business name or adding new owners. These changes must be filed with the state. With our Worry-Free Compliance service, we cover up to two amendments per year. All you need to do is cover the state fee.

In the unlikely event you fall out of good standing for missing any state-required filing like an annual report, then we will provide a detailed action plan and help you get back in good standing.

Most frequently, compliance refers to adhering to the laws for your business type and industry. An LLC might be required to file an annual report with the state government every year and pay a corresponding fee. A publicly traded corporation will need to follow the rules set forth by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A restaurant would need to follow national, state, and local laws for proper handling of food. A company with employees will need to follow federal and state labor laws.

You could divide compliance in business into four categories:

• Regulatory compliance: This is essentially following the laws of international, federal, state, and local governments in relation to your industry. This also includes financial compliance, such as keeping accurate records of your accounting and paying taxes in a timely manner.
• Health and safety compliance: This refers to keeping your workplace free from hazards for your employees, customers, and anyone else who comes onto your site.
• Human resources compliance: HR compliance entails doing everything possible (especially those things required by law) to protect the welfare of your employees. This can include having proper hiring procedures, employee benefits, paying overtime, having workers’ compensation insurance, and more.
• Data compliance: Your company needs to take the appropriate steps to safeguard your customer’s sensitive information, such as credit card information, addresses and phone numbers, medical records, and anything else pertinent to your industry.

A business not in compliance could face heavy fines or be shut down altogether by the government. A business like an LLC or corporation could lose the personal liability protection for its owners if the state dissolves it, leaving the owners’ personal assets at risk from lawsuits against the business.
