Business Formation, Registered Agent & Compliance Services

Starting a business requires more than choosing a name. The entity must be properly formed, filed with the correct state agency, and organized with the right foundational documents.

Enterprise Management Solutions assists with the formation of:

• Limited Liability Companies
• Corporations
• Nonprofit corporations

Our formation services support LLCs, corporations, and nonprofits. Please note that 501(c)(3) IRS exemption filings are not included in the formation filing service.

Formation support may include:

• Name availability guidance
• Preparation and submission of state formation filings
• Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation filing support
• Registered agent coordination
• Entity document retrieval
• Initial compliance guidance
• EIN coordination when requested

This service is designed for new entrepreneurs, real estate investors, healthcare businesses, contractors, consultants, professional service providers, and organizations that need a clean and organized business start.

If your company was formed in one state but needs to operate, hire, lease property, provide services, or maintain a presence in another state, you may need a foreign registration or foreign qualification.

Enterprise Management Solutions assists companies with foreign registrations across jurisdictions. This is especially useful for businesses expanding operations, registering with state agencies, opening new locations, hiring employees in another state, or applying for licenses outside their home state.

Foreign registration support may include:

• State-specific filing preparation
• Certificate of good standing coordination when required
• Registered agent setup in the foreign state
• Submission of foreign qualification filings
• Tracking approval documents
• Renewal and annual report reminders

Many states require active companies to file annual or biennial reports to remain in good standing. Missing these filings can lead to penalties, administrative dissolution, loss of good standing, or complications with contracts, financing, licensing, and banking.

Enterprise Management Solutions helps business owners manage annual and biennial report filings so companies remain active and compliant.

Our filing support may include:

• Annual report preparation
• Biennial report preparation
• State fee coordination
• Deadline tracking
• Entity status review
• Submission confirmation
• Recordkeeping support

Annual and biennial reports are among the compliance filings supported through our national filing infrastructure.

As businesses grow, ownership, management, addresses, names, and operating structures may change. When those changes affect state records, formal amendments or update filings may be required.

Enterprise Management Solutions assists with filing amendments and updates such as:

• Company name changes
• Principal office address changes
• Registered office changes
• Manager or member updates where applicable
• Corporate officer or director updates where applicable
• Business purpose updates
• Authorized share changes for corporations where applicable
• Other state record corrections or updates

Amendments are included among the supported compliance filing services we provide.

When a company is closing, no longer operating in a state, or winding down a registered foreign qualification, it is important to properly close the entity or withdraw from the state. Failure to do so may lead to future annual report obligations, tax notices, penalties, or administrative issues.

Enterprise Management Solutions assists with:

• Domestic dissolution filings
• Foreign withdrawal filings
• State closure documentation
• Registered agent cancellation coordination
• Good standing review before closure
• Final state filing confirmation

Dissolution and withdrawal filings are among the supported compliance services we provide.

If your company has been administratively dissolved, revoked, forfeited, or placed in inactive status because of missed filings, unpaid fees, or failure to maintain a registered agent, you may need reinstatement.

Enterprise Management Solutions helps businesses review reinstatement requirements and prepare the necessary state filings to restore active status when available.

Reinstatement support may include:

• Entity status review
• Identification of missing filings
• Annual report catch-up support
• Registered agent correction if needed
• State reinstatement filing preparation
• Document tracking after submission

Reinstatement is also identified as a supported filing category in our compliance services.

Many banks, lenders, licensing agencies, government offices, landlords, investors, and contracting partners require proof that a company is active and compliant. A Certificate of Good Standing or Certificate of Existence can help demonstrate that your entity is properly registered with the state.

Enterprise Management Solutions assists with obtaining:

• Certificates of Good Standing
• Certificates of Existence
• Certified copies of formation documents
• Certified copies of amendments
• Certified state records for licensing, banking, financing, or contract purposes

Certificates of good standing and certified copies are among the supported services we provide.

If your company currently has another registered agent and you want to transfer registered agent service, Enterprise Management Solutions can assist with the change of registered agent filing.

This may be appropriate when:

• Your current registered agent is unreliable
• You want one provider across multiple states
• You no longer want to use a personal address
• You need better legal mail tracking
• You are consolidating compliance administration
• You are preparing for financing, licensing, or expansion

Change of registered agent filings may be filed when Enterprise Management Solutions is being hired to represent the company as registered agent.

An Employer Identification Number, or EIN, is often needed to open a business bank account, hire employees, file taxes, apply for licenses, obtain insurance, and conduct business under a formal entity.

Enterprise Management Solutions can assist with EIN application support for eligible businesses.

EIN services may include:

• EIN application preparation
• SS-4 coordination
• Domestic EIN support
• Foreign or non-SSN EIN support
• Document coordination using state formation records
• Confirmation and recordkeeping support

We distinguish between EIN filings with a Social Security Number and EIN filings without an SSN. EIN filings can also be completed directly with the IRS by the client.

Some eligible corporations and LLCs choose to be taxed as an S-Corporation for federal tax purposes. Enterprise Management Solutions can assist with preparing and submitting S-Corp election paperwork.

S-Corp election support may include:

• Basic eligibility intake
• Preparation of IRS Form 2553
• Owner information coordination
• Signature coordination
• Submission support
• Confirmation tracking

An S-Corp election is a tax election, not a separate state entity type. Business owners should consult with a qualified tax professional.
