Corporate/LLC Annual
Reports
The State of Michigan requires corporations
and limited liability companies to file an "Annual
Report" and pay a $25.00 filing fee each year the
entity is in existence. If a corporation/
LLC fails to file an Annual Report for 2
or more years following the due date, it
will be "automatically dissolved" by
the State of Michigan. Although the
"automatic dissolution" by the State of Michigan
does not actually cause the dissolution of the
entity, it does cause the entity to lose certain
rights. Some of the rights that can be
lost include the exclusive use of a particular
name (a third party can take over a name) and
the right to commence legal action. To
find out if your entity is "active" and
therefore in good standing, Click
here. If you need assistance bringing
your entity back into good standing,
