The reality

One missed filing costs more than a year of Govance.

Every LLC, S-Corp, and C-Corp in the US has mandatory annual filings. The rules differ by state, change without warning, and the penalties for missing them are steep — and permanent if you don't catch them fast.

“I used Stripe Atlas to form my Delaware LLC and never received a single reminder. Two years later I got a notice saying my company was voided and I owed $1,800 in back fees. I had no idea annual reports were even a thing.”

FAQ

Questions we get from business owners.

What US compliance deadlines does Govance track?

Govance tracks LLC annual reports, S-Corp and C-Corp annual filings, foreign qualification renewals, business license renewals, and state-specific compliance requirements across all 50 US states and Washington D.C. Each deadline includes fee context and links to official portals.

Does it cover all 50 US states?

Yes. Govance covers all 50 states plus Washington D.C., including multi-state foreign qualifications.

What happens if I miss an LLC annual report deadline?

Consequences vary by state but often include late fees, loss of good standing, and eventual administrative dissolution. Govance helps you act before that happens — always verify final dates on the official state portal.

I formed through Stripe Atlas, Doola, or ZenBusiness. Can I use Govance?

Yes. Enter your formation details and Govance generates your compliance calendar. No agent transfer required.

Is Govance free to use?

There is a permanent free tier for one business with limited visibility into upcoming deadlines. Paid plans unlock full tracking and reminders.

Will Govance file documents on my behalf?

Govance is a tracker and reminder service, not a filing agent. We surface deadlines, guides, and portal links so you stay in control.

How does Govance stay current when state rules change?

Our roadmap includes automated monitoring and manual review workflows so calendars stay accurate as rules evolve.

How accurate is Govance's compliance data?

We aim for high accuracy with periodic reviews and change detection. Every deadline should still be verified on the official state portal before filing. Govance is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Your next deadline is already approaching

Most US businesses have a filing due in the next 90 days.
