All business owners are required to maintain in good standing with the Georgia Secretary of State by submitting an annual registration. The renewal period runs from January 1st to April 1st of each year unless specific extensions by the Secretary of State are allowed.
Since your entity name and address are public information, this frequently leads to third-party vendors creating renewal forms which appear official unless you read the fine print. Please be on the lookout for these notices in the coming weeks and feel free to send them to us for review if you’re unsure if it’s an official notice.
We encourage all of our clients to allow us to handle entity renewals for their protection, as we (electronically) sign the submission rather than exposing their name. We also ensure the information is updated and that our firm is reflected as the registered agent. This way, we can accept any legal notices on their behalf and communicate any response deadlines. We provide this service to allow our clients to focus on their business while we manage their legal needs!
Please contact us if you’d like to learn more about how our firm can help your business.
