Business Registration & Compliance
Your partner in business compliance. From forming your LLC to managing annual reports and multi-state registrations, we handle the paperwork that keeps your business legal and penalty-free.
Fred Lundin CPA offers a complete suite of Business Registration & Compliance Services designed to navigate the bureaucratic maze of American business ownership. From the excitement of launching a new entity to the ongoing discipline of multi-state compliance, we ensure your business rests on a solid legal foundation.
Many entrepreneurs underestimate the ongoing maintenance required to keep a company in "Good Standing." Missing an annual report or failing to register in a new state can lead to dissolved charters, frozen bank accounts, and pierced corporate veils.
We take the guesswork out of government forms. Our virtual team manages the entire lifecycle of your entity: formation, foreign qualification, annual reporting, and governance.
Whether you are deciding between an LLC and an S-Corp, expanding your remote team into a new jurisdiction, or simply need someone to handle your mandatory minutes, we provide the regulatory shield that allows you to focus on running your business, not dodging penalties.
What is the difference between "Registration" and "Compliance"?
Registration is the one-time event of creating your business (e.g., filing Articles of Organization). Compliance is the ongoing maintenance required to keep it alive (e.g., filing Annual Reports, renewing licenses, and holding meetings). You need both to stay in business.
I’m hiring a remote employee in another state. What do I need to do?
This triggers "Foreign Qualification." You generally must register your business in that new state, appoint a Registered Agent there, and pay their specific franchise taxes. We handle this entire expansion process for you.
Do you act as my Registered Agent?
We do not act as the Registered Agent (for service of process/lawsuits), but we partner with national services that do. We manage the relationship and ensure that any tax notices sent to your Registered Agent are forwarded to us for immediate action.
Why do I need Corporate Minutes if I'm the only owner?
To protect your personal assets. If you are sued, a court will look to see if you treated your business as a separate entity. Written minutes proving you held meetings and made formal decisions are your best defense against "piercing the corporate veil."
