New Year, New Laws What Businesses Need to Know for 2026

As 2025 draws to a close, many businesses are turning their attention to what's next. From tax law changes to updated compliance requirements, staying ahead of legal developments can make or break your new year planning.

Here’s what business owners should review before 2026 begins:

1. State Filing Requirements

Each state updates its filing requirements and deadlines annually. For example, Minnesota LLC and Corporation Annual Reports are due by December 31. Missing these deadlines can result in penalties or even administrative dissolution.

2. New Entity Formation Rules or Tax Updates

Tax brackets and legal interpretations may shift annually. If you’re considering changing your entity structure, we can help you evaluate LLC vs Corp options.

3. Registered Agent Updates

Make sure your Registered Agent information is current. If your business address or agent has changed, file an amendment before the end of the year.
