As your business grows, so do your responsibilities. You might be juggling new clients, new markets, or even new employees—but growth also brings new obligations. Laws change, states update requirements, and it's easy for compliance to fall off your radar.

This guide is your reminder: stay proactive, stay aware, and stay supported by American Incorporators.

1. What’s Changed in 2025?

Each year brings updates to deadlines, fee structures, and filing formats. Some states now require online-only filings. Others may have shortened response windows or changed forms for foreign qualification.

📌 AIL keeps up with these changes so you don’t have to.

🛠️ Ask us what's changed in your state

• Missed your annual report due date?

June isn’t just the halfway point of the year—it’s your chance to prevent small oversights from turning into big setbacks. A mid-year compliance check gives business owners the opportunity to catch up, correct, and confirm that everything is on track before heading into the second half of the year.

Whether you’ve missed a filing deadline, expanded into new states, or simply haven’t reviewed your business documents since January, now is the perfect time to reset and realign.

1. Why Mid-Year Matters

Annual filings, address changes, or unregistered business activities can all lead to compliance issues. A mid-year check ensures that your status is current, your filings are complete, and your business remains in good standing with your formation state and any states where you're actively operating.

2. Check Your Entity Status

Start by verifying your entity's standing with the state. If your business is marked “not in good standing,” it could be due to a missed report, expired registered agent, or other overlooked requirement.

📌 American Incorporators can run a quick status check and help resolve any issues fast.

🛠️ Check your status with AIL

3. Catch Up on Filings & Amendments

Have you filed your annual report? Has your address or business structure changed? Did you add a new partner? These details may need to be updated through your state’s amendment process.

📌 We handle annual report filings and amendments in most U.S. states.

🛠️ Use our Annual Report Filing Services

4. Consider Multi-State Compliance

If you’re working across state lines—especially if you’ve hired remote employees or opened new locations—you may need to register as a foreign entity in those states.

📌 American Incorporators offers Foreign Qualification Services to help you expand legally and confidently.
