Maintain Registered Agent
Keep a current registered agent and business address on file with the state.
Annual Compliance Review
Review licenses, permits, insurance renewals, and corporate records once a year.
Monitor Business Credit
Check business credit reports quarterly and dispute errors promptly.

Why it matters
What this looks like when it's left undone
The gaps business maintenance closes — the ones that quietly cost you deals, time and sleep.
Deadlines sneak up every year
Annual reports and franchise taxes fall due on schedules you don't think about — until a late notice arrives.
Losing good standing is expensive
A lapse means reinstatement fees, a frozen bank relationship and paperwork to dig back out.
Nobody's watching the whole picture
Licences, permits, insurance renewals and registered-agent details drift out of date with no annual check.
How it works
What working together actually looks like
Onboarding audit
We pull your filing history and current standing in every state you're registered in, and fix anything already overdue.
Calendar & agent
Every annual/biennial report and franchise-tax date goes on a tracked calendar; we serve as or coordinate your registered agent.
File ahead of deadlines
Reports are prepared and filed before they're due — you approve, we submit, you get the confirmation.
Annual review
Once a year we review licences, permits, insurance and records, plus quarterly business-credit monitoring.
The difference
Doing it yourself vs. doing it with IPELLO
| On your own | With IPELLO | |
|---|---|---|
| Deadlines | A reminder you set and then snoozed | A tracked calendar filed ahead of every due date |
| Registered agent | Your home address, or an agent you forgot you had | Current agent and address maintained in every state |
| If something lapses | Reinstatement fees and a frozen bank account | It doesn't — filings go in early |
| Yearly check | Nobody reviews licences or insurance | An annual review of the whole compliance picture |
Every business maintenance engagement is fixed-scope with a written proposal and a price you approve before any work begins.

Who it's for
Business Maintenance is a fit if…
- Owners who've been hit with a late-filing penalty before
- Businesses registered in more than one state
- Founders who want compliance off their desk entirely
I'd lost good standing once and it cost me a week and a bank headache. Now the reports just get filed and I get a confirmation email. Worth every dollar.

Government fees, advertising spend, software subscriptions and third-party professional fees are billed separately unless your proposal explicitly includes them.
- State annual-report, franchise-tax and licence renewal fees
- Reinstatement penalties for lapses before you joined a plan
- Bookkeeping, tax filing and legal representation
Frequently asked
Good questions
With a maintenance plan, we file before the deadline. If you're joining us already late, we handle reinstatement.
