Compliance & Registered Agent Services

By subscribing, you grant SFR permission to prepare and submit all standard annual state filings for you. Our services include:

1. Statement of Information(SOI)

2. Annual Report (AR)

3. Consolidated Compliance Tracking & Filing Coordination

After submission, you will receive a copy of each filed report for your records.

Step 1: Simple Annual Pricing​

Pay one flat fee per entity, per state — no surprises.

​

1. Compliance Filing Services: $160/year

2. Registered Agent (California): $150/year

3. Out-of-State Registered Agent: $300/year per state

Depending on your filing due date, enrollment may require immediate billing. After that, annual billing for this service is automatically processed each August.​​

​

Step 2: Secure Filing Fee Payments

​

We’ll need a copy of your business credit card on file to pay state-required Annual Report fees.

1. You’ll always be notified before any charges are made

2. You’ll get a receipt after each filing

3. This card is only used for state fees — not our service fees unless you request otherwise

​

Step 3: We Take It From Here

​

When your report is due, we’ll:

1. Send you a quick heads-up with the filing details (24 hours in advance)

2. File the report on your behalf

3. Send you confirmation with a copy of the submission and receipt

​

Easy, done, and off your plate.

By subscribing, you authorize SFR to act as your Registered Agent of Service. 

​

An Agent of Service (also called a Registered Agent) is a person or company officially designated to receive legal documents on behalf of a business. This includes things like:

1. Lawsuits (a.k.a. service of process)

2. Government correspondence (such as tax notices)

3. Compliance reminders (like annual report deadlines)

​

You are not required to subscribe to Registered Agent services to receive Compliance Services. If you reside in the same state as the business, you may serve as your Registered Agent. Alternatively, you can designate another individual or use a professional registered agent service.

​

Who Can Be a Registered Agent in California?

1. The business owner or officer (must have a physical address in the same state)

2. A designated employee or individual residing in the state

3. A professional registered agent service (like SFR!)

​​

To keep things streamlined and reliable, we no longer send filing reminders or provide one-off filing help unless you are enrolled in our Compliance Services package. This helps us stay organized and gives you confidence that nothing will slip through the cracks.

​

Want peace of mind?
Join our Compliance Services program and let us handle the deadlines, filings, and reminders—so you can stay focused on your business, not the paperwork.

If you have business activity or nexus in other states, let us know! We’ll include those jurisdictions in your compliance review, coordinate the necessary filings, and make sure everything lines up correctly for your tax returns.

What is a Statement of Information (SOI)?
A required annual filing that provides updated details about your company, such as officers, addresses, and agent of service.

What is an Annual Report (AR)?
This is the state’s record of your entity’s status and current business information, required annually in most states.

What is an Agent of Service?
Also known as a Registered Agent, this is the person or company designated to receive legal and state correspondence on behalf of your business.

Why are these filings due?
These reports are required by each state’s Secretary of State to keep your business in good standing. Filing requirements vary by state.

 

Who can file your Annual Reports if SFR isn’t your Registered Agent?
We can! SFR still offers Compliance Filing Services even if we’re not listed as your Registered Agent. That said, enrolling in our full Compliance Services package provides the most complete coverage—so nothing slips through the cracks.
