Most small business owners form an LLC or corporation to get limited liability protection, keep the business “real” in the eyes of banks and partners, and avoid nasty surprises from the state. The catch: that protection isn’t set-and-forget. States expect ongoing upkeep (annual reports/renewals, registered agent validity, fees/taxes), and good records (minutes/resolutions) help show your entity is operated as a real separate business.
When compliance slips, the consequences can be expensive and disruptive, loss of good standing, late fees, administrative dissolution, and headaches getting reinstated.
Main Street Business Services’ Company Compliance Service is designed to keep your entity current, organized, and defensible, so you can focus on running the business.

For corporations, and often for LLCs, too, good internal records help demonstrate the business is operated as a separate legal entity. Courts commonly consider factors such as whether owners kept records and complied with formalities (meetings, minutes, resolutions) when evaluating veil-piercing claims.
You can’t control every risk, but you can control whether your company is buttoned up and properly documented.
Compliance isn’t one deadline. It’s a moving set of state and federal expectations (state renewals, notices, registered agent status, entity standing). Falling behind often happens simply because owners are busy, until a notice arrives or a deal is delayed. A monitoring-first approach helps you stay ahead of issues rather than react after penalties are issued.
We handle the preparation and completion of your recurring state filing(s) so your entity stays active and compliant, helping you avoid late filings, loss of good standing, and the risk of administrative dissolution.
Value to you: fewer deadline surprises, less paperwork, and fewer “we need this by Friday” fire drills.
Minutes don’t need to be complicated, but they do need to exist. Our system helps you create and store minutes consistently, year after year.
Value to you: clean, organized records that are easy to pull when your bank, insurer, partner, or attorney asks.
We keep an eye on your entity’s ongoing standing and compliance signals so you can address issues early, before they become reinstatement problems.
Value to you: fewer disruptions and reduced risk of missing changes or notices that can snowball.
Seamlessly document and store critical details and information from any special board meetings held for your company throughout the year. Our special board meeting minute templates that are available in our intuitive client portal remove friction and help you document key decisions: officer changes, major purchases, borrowing, entering leases, approving contracts, equity changes, and more.
Why board meeting minutes matter: Courts may consider whether corporate formalities and records (like minutes/resolutions) are maintained when evaluating whether the entity is truly separate from its owners.
Businesses evolve, addresses change, members/managers change, officers change, names change. Simple amendments included means you don’t have to “wait until later” (and risk operating with outdated records).
Value to you: Simplicity, convenience to you, faster updates, cleaner public record, and fewer compliance gaps.
In addition to our Company Compliance Service, we offer plans that expand coverage by combining compliance management with registered agent services and enhanced privacy protection, helping business owners stay compliant, current, and protected as their businesses grow.
