What’s an Annual Report?
An annual report, also referred to as a Statement of Information or Periodic Report, is a mandatory filing that business entities such as LLCs, corporations, or S Corps must submit to their respective Secretary of State. Typically, sole proprietors or partnerships are not obligated to file one.
The primary objective of the annual report is to furnish investors, government agencies, and the general public with vital information for identifying and communicating with businesses formed or operating within the state.
Filing an annual report offers a snapshot of your business’s activities and transactions from the previous year, akin to an up-to-date report card for your company.
Generally, an annual report contains crucial details regarding your LLC, including:
- Business name
- Member name(s) and contact information
- Business address (both physical and mailing if different)
- Business type and NAICS Code
- Registered Agent information
- For corporations, the names and addresses of directors and officers
It’s crucial to ensure that the information provided is accurate and factual. Providing falsified or doctored information can lead to fines or even charges of fraud.
Additionally, it’s important to note that some states may have additional requirements, and these requirements can change without prior notice. Always verify the latest filing information on your Secretary of State’s website.

Why Should I File an Annual Report?
Filing your annual report on time is critical for all businesses to avoid penalties. Missing the deadline or failing to file can result in fines or even revocation of your Certificate of Good Standing. A pattern of non-compliance over consecutive years could even result in the dissolution of your business.
Filing your annual report serves as proof to regulators that your business is active and current. It strengthens your claim to your business name, trademarks, and important tax and liability benefits, thereby protecting your operating status and legal advantages.
