Missouri businesses must file an Annual Registration Report with the Secretary of State within three months of their anniversary month if they wish to conduct business in the future. Corporations are required to submit a report, but LLCs and partnerships are not. If you own or run a corporation in Missouri, be sure to submit your annual report in a timely fashion.
Annual reports are compliance documents that allow the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office to keep track of any changes that a business has undergone in the past year. When you file an annual report, you’ll fill out information indicating who your corporate officers are, where they live, and who your registered agent is. You’ll also indicate the primary address of your business.
