Corporate Compliance & CTA Filing Service

Strict compliance with the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is mandatory for most U.S. companies to avoid severe penalties.

  • Beneficial Ownership: Identifying and reporting all Beneficial Owners and Company Applicants to FinCEN.
  • Initial Filing: Ensuring accurate and timely submission of your initial BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) report.
  • Update Filings: Managing mandatory updates within 30 days if there are any changes to ownership or company details.

Maintaining your company's "Good Standing" status requires adherence to annual state-level requirements.

  • Annual Reports: Preparing and filing mandatory annual or biennial reports and franchise tax forms with the state.
  • Registered Agent Maintenance: Ensuring continuous statutory representation to avoid administrative dissolution.
  • Foreign Qualification: Registering your company to legally do business in states outside of your formation state.

Proper internal record-keeping is essential to protect the corporate veil and pass future due diligence.

  • Meeting Minutes: Drafting annual meeting minutes for shareholders and board of directors (C-Corps).
  • Corporate Resolutions: Documenting major company decisions such as taking on debt, signing major leases, or changing officers.
  • Cap Table Management: Keeping accurate ledgers of equity ownership, stock transfers, and option grants.

Our Corporate Compliance and CTA Filing Service: What It Covers

Incorporating in the US is only your first step. Neglecting your federal Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) report, state annual filings, and internal corporate records invites state dissolution and steep federal fines. We track these deadlines. We file the paperwork.

Our team manages three compliance areas: the federal BOI report under the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), state-level annual reports and franchise taxes, and corporate governance documents like operating agreements or meeting minutes. We handle the administrative filings so you can run your business.

For a detailed breakdown of CTA rules, affected entities, and statutory deadlines, read our Corporate Transparency Act guide. This page explains how we manage these filings on your behalf.

We File Your BOI (Beneficial Ownership) Report for You

Under the 2025 FinCEN change, most US-formed companies are exempt from the federal BOI filing; only companies formed abroad and registered in the US report. So our first job is to clarify whether your company is actually obligated. The CTA mandates that covered entities report beneficial ownership data to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Regulatory updates and federal court rulings throughout 2024 and 2025 altered these filing deadlines and exemption criteria. Errors or late submissions carry severe civil and criminal penalties.

We manage this entire reporting process. Our attorneys verify your company's reporting status, identify the correct beneficial owners, prepare the data, and submit the filing directly through FinCEN's official BOI channel. We also file required amendments when your company's ownership or address changes. Let us handle the details.

State Compliance and Keeping "Good Standing"

Federal filings are only half your burden. Your state of incorporation requires regular annual reports and franchise tax payments to maintain active status. Neglecting these state filings leads to administrative dissolution. This freezes bank accounts and voids corporate contracts.

We monitor your state deadlines, file annual reports, pay franchise taxes, and maintain your registered agent service. If your business operates across multiple states, we centralize these distinct filing calendars. One missed state deadline can halt your operations. We prevent that.

Corporate Governance and Protecting the Liability Shield

Your limited liability company (LLC) or corporation only shields your personal assets if you respect corporate formalities. Commingling funds, failing to hold annual meetings, or keeping disorganized records allows creditors to pierce the corporate veil during a lawsuit. Do not risk your personal savings.

We draft and organize your operating agreements, shareholder resolutions, meeting minutes, and stock ledgers. These documents protect your corporate structure during audits, venture capital due diligence, or an eventual business sale.

Corporate neglect triggers compounding legal risks. A missed BOI report invites federal fines; a forgotten state filing triggers administrative dissolution; missing minutes destroy your liability shield. A single calendar oversight can dismantle your entire US business structure.

In the files we manage, clients rarely ignore the law; they simply miss a deadline. Our team acts as your compliance safeguard by mapping your deadlines and filing documents before penalties accrue. We monitor FinCEN and state registries directly to track shifting regulatory dates and penalty structures on your behalf.

Compliance and Immigration: Protecting Your E-2 or L-1 Status

For foreign nationals operating on investor or intracompany transfer visas, corporate compliance directly impacts your lawful status. Maintaining E-2 or L-1 visa status requires an active, legally operating US enterprise. An administratively dissolved company cannot support a visa renewal. Your status depends on your compliance.

In our team's practice, we integrate corporate compliance directly with immigration strategy. We coordinate our E-2 investor visa service and our L-1 transfer service with your ongoing corporate filing requirements. If you recently incorporated, review the necessary next steps in our guide on what to do after forming a US company.

Corporate Compliance & CTA Filing Service • Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We assess whether your company is in scope of the Corporate Transparency Act, identify the beneficial owners correctly, prepare the report, and submit it to FinCEN on time. We also track updates when information changes, so you are not chasing deadlines.

It covers three axes: the federal BOI report, state annual report and fee obligations, and corporate governance records (operating agreement, minutes, share records). Depending on your needs, it is structured as a one-time filing or ongoing compliance tracking.

We first assess whether your company is in scope under current rules and the status of the delay, then complete the filing as soon as possible. Because the rules changed through 2024-2025, each case is handled on its own timeline; filing the late report correctly is critical to limiting penalty exposure.

Yes. We monitor the annual report and fee deadlines for the state where your company is formed and complete them without you waiting for a reminder. If you are registered in multiple states, we manage each state's calendar from one place, securing your Good Standing status.

A CPA is valuable on the tax and accounting side; but assessing BOI scope, the legal interpretation of the beneficial owner definition, and corporate governance documents require legal analysis. Especially when the structure is complex or tied to immigration status, running compliance with an attorney lowers the risk of misinterpretation.

Penalty amounts are set at the federal and state level and change with the rules; the binding figures sit with FinCEN and the relevant state authority. The way we protect you is not by estimating the amount but by removing the risk: we map the obligations, watch the deadlines, and intervene before a lapse occurs.

Yes, directly. E-2 and L-1 status rests on the company behind it being real and active. A company in administrative dissolution or non-compliance creates a weakness at visa renewal. By running your compliance and immigration file with the same team, we manage this connection holistically.

The BOI is not an annually repeating filing; but when reported information changes (for example ownership, address, or a beneficial owner change), an update must be filed within a set period. We monitor changes in your company, alert you when an update is required, and submit it.

Yes. Instead of a one-time filing, we offer ongoing compliance tracking that monitors your company's federal and state obligations throughout the year. This setup removes the missed-deadline risk, especially for actively operating companies or those registered in multiple states.

In most cases, yes. We identify the missed obligations that led to administrative dissolution or loss of good standing, complete the past reports and fees, and handle the company's reinstatement. The cost and timeline depend on the state and the extent of the delay.

The fee is set by scope (a one-time BOI filing versus ongoing tracking), the number of states, and the complexity of the company structure. State fees are official line items and are calculated separately. After an initial consultation, we provide a clear, itemized quote with no surprise charges.

Yes. We prepare and keep in order your operating agreement, board and shareholder resolutions, meeting minutes, and share records. These documents are critical to protecting your liability shield in a dispute and to your company's defensibility in a future investment or sale.

Yes. Each state has different annual report, fee, and registered agent obligations on different calendars. We consolidate the obligations across all states into a single calendar and manage them from one place, preventing an overlooked obligation in one state from putting the whole structure at risk.

With our headquarters in Plano (Texas) and offices in Chicago, Irvine, Alpharetta, and Fairfield, we run corporate compliance and immigration law under one roof. With over 10 years of collective experience, we monitor your federal and state obligations and manage their connection to your visa status holistically.
