What is an Annual Report/Statement of Information?

An Annual report/Statement of Information is a filing that details a company’s activities throughout the prior year. Annual reports are intended to give state governing authorities information regarding the names and addresses of directors or managing members of a corporation or LLC as well as the company and registered agent address. In some state the annual report is filed at a pre-determined date for all entities regardless of the date of formation while other states require that the annual report is filed on the anniversary date of formation. In some states newly formed or registered companies must file their first Statement of Information/Annual report within 90 days of forming or first registering their company with the state.

What is Contained in an Annual LLC or Corporate Report?

Annual reports vary in complexity and typically include the following:

• The principal business (head office) address of the company.
• The names and addresses of the managers of the business (directors and officers in a corporation, members and managers in an LLC).
• Important identification numbers for your business.
• The purpose of your business.
• Authorized signatories and registered agents.
• The number of shares of stock issued by the business.

The purpose of an annual report is to keep your state informed on any changes to the details or ownership of your business. For example, if the business has changed locations or has new directors or managers.
