Annual Report Filing

We track your due date and file your annual report with the Secretary of State so your entity never lapses.

Registered Agent

A physical NC address and a real team to receive your legal notices and official mail, forwarded to you the same day.

Dissolution

Closing up? We file your Articles of Dissolution and confirm the wind-down so nothing lingers on your record.

501(c)(3) Formation

Nonprofit Articles of Incorporation plus your federal 1023 / 1023-EZ, guided from start to tax-exempt finish.

We file & confirm

We submit to the state, then send you written confirmation and your stamped documents.

Built around people, not portals

Compliance is stressful. Talking to us shouldn’t be.

Filings are full of jargon and hard deadlines. We translate all of it, answer honestly, and never leave you waiting on a ticket queue.

Hi! I just got a notice my LLC was administratively dissolved 😟
No problem, this is very fixable. We’ll file a reinstatement and clear the past-due reports. Most are back in good standing within a week.
That’s a relief. What do you need from me?
Common questions

The things people ask us most

Do you provide legal advice?

No, we are a document filing and compliance service, not a law firm. We prepare and submit your filings accurately and keep you on schedule. For complex legal questions we are happy to point you toward a licensed North Carolina attorney.

What is a registered agent, and do I need one in North Carolina?

Yes. North Carolina requires every LLC, corporation, and nonprofit to maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state. We can serve as your agent, receive official mail and legal notices on your behalf, and forward everything to you the same day.

When is my North Carolina annual report due?

It depends on your entity type. LLCs file by April 15th each year; business corporations file by the 15th day of the fourth month after their fiscal year-end. We track your due dates and file on time so you never fall out of good standing.

Not sure which filing you need?

Tell us about your business in a sentence. A real specialist will tell you exactly what to do next, with no obligation.
