State compliance and registrations
Keep every entity active and in good standing.
A missed annual report can dissolve a company without notice. NSC files, tracks, and repairs state compliance for entities in any U.S. state, and reinstates companies that have already lapsed.
Annual reports and the Annual Compliance Plan
NSC prepares and files annual reports and registrations in any state. The Annual Compliance Plan adds the annual written consent and a compliance calendar, so nothing comes due unnoticed.
Reinstatement
If the state has administratively dissolved your entity, NSC files the reinstatement with any catch-up annual reports and confirms the company is back in good standing.
Expanding to new states
Foreign qualification registers your company to do business in another state, including the home-state good standing certificate the filing requires. NSC also handles amendments, securities exemption notices, business licenses, DBA filings, and registered agent setup.
