With the New Year
upon us, many solicitations begin to show up in the mail seeking payment for
annual fees from unsuspecting businesses.
Be wary of solicitations for annual report filings, business license
requirements, corporate consents, records in lieu of meeting minutes, or annual
minutes requirements as they are not always from the government agency where
your business is qualified. They may
appear to be genuine requests from the state but be sure to read the fine
print. These “required” filings will say
that they are not endorsed by any government agency. This will help you determine whether the form
is legitimate or not. There will be a high
filing fee and a warning of penalties and fines if not paid timely. If you are unsure of the form you receive, check
with the state where you are registered to do business or check with your
registered agent.
