FileForms is the modern compliance platform trusted by CPAs, law firms, family offices, real estate professionals, and private equity firms to manage entity obligations at scale.

SOC 2 Type I Certified · 100,000+ Entities Managed · All 50 States · API-First Platform
Starting a new LLC, corporation, or other business entity? FileForms prepares and files your formation documents with the appropriate Secretary of State — ensuring your Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation meet state-specific requirements for a smooth, fast approval.
Whether you’re forming a single entity or standing up a portfolio of new businesses, our platform guides you through entity type selection, state of formation, registered agent designation, and initial compliance setup — all in one place.
Every LLC, corporation, and registered entity must file an annual report — also called a Statement of Information, Biennial Report, or Business Privilege Tax Return depending on the state — to maintain good standing with the Secretary of State. Deadlines, fees, and requirements vary by state, and missing them can result in late penalties, administrative dissolution, or loss of the right to do business.
FileForms monitors your annual report deadlines across all 50 states and files on your behalf — automatically. Our platform tracks every entity in your portfolio, sends proactive alerts before due dates, and submits filings with the accuracy and speed that legacy providers like CT Corporation and CSC can’t match at a competitive price point.
A registered agent is required in every state where your business is registered to do business. Your registered agent receives official government correspondence, service of process, tax notices, and legal documents on behalf of your entity — and must maintain a physical address in that state during normal business hours.
FileForms serves as your registered agent in all 50 states, giving you a single, reliable point of contact for every jurisdiction. All correspondence is instantly forwarded to your dashboard and email — no missed notices, no compliance gaps.
An Employer Identification Number (EIN) — also called a Federal Tax ID — is required to open a business bank account, hire employees, file business taxes, and establish business credit. The IRS issues EINs, but navigating the application correctly is critical, especially for foreign-owned entities or complex ownership structures.
FileForms prepares and submits your EIN application accurately and efficiently, with your credentials securely stored in your compliance dashboard for future reference.
When your business expands into a new state, you are legally required to register as a “foreign” entity in that state before conducting business there. This process — called foreign qualification — requires filing a Certificate of Authority with the Secretary of State and appointing a registered agent in that state.
FileForms handles your foreign qualification filings in all 50 states, ensuring your business is legally authorized to operate wherever you grow. We manage the paperwork, coordinate registered agent appointments, and keep your qualification filings current.
A Certificate of Good Standing — also called a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Status depending on the state — is an official document confirming that your business is properly registered, current on its filings, and authorized to conduct business in that state.
Lenders, investors, banks, landlords, and government agencies routinely require a Certificate of Good Standing before approving financing, executing contracts, or renewing licenses. FileForms obtains certificates quickly from any state — on demand.
