Initial Reports
for LLCs and Corporations
Numerous states mandate that Corporations and Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) submit an initial report, also known as a “Statement of Information,” following the formation of their business entities. This requirement is in place to ensure that states stay informed about a company’s essential details and maintain up-to-date records.

Initial reports serve as the precursor to the annual report filings that businesses are obligated to fulfill as part of their continuous compliance responsibilities. These reports need to be submitted to the Secretary of State office or a comparable agency in the respective state.
While anyone is allowed to submit a business’s initial report on its behalf, typically, at least one LLC member or a director/officer of a corporation must sign the form.

CorXec efficiently manages initial report filings for businesses at a minimal charge, alleviating entrepreneurs of one less concern as they embark on launching their companies.*
Deadline for Filing
Upon registering their LLC or C Corporation, companies are obligated to promptly file their initial reports. The deadlines for these reports differ by state, with the majority requiring submission within 90 days of registration.
Failing to file the initial report on time can lead to penalties, late fees, or, in severe cases, the suspension or involuntary dissolution of the entity. Hence, it is crucial for entrepreneurs to diligently review their state’s requirements and ensure timely submission of the initial report!
