The stakes

The traps nobody warns you about.

You're great at your trade. Nobody hands you a calendar of the filings that keep your business legal. A missed deadline can lead to fees or loss of good standing before an owner realizes something is wrong.

The price gap
$399/mo vs. $50/yr

The only tools that track this today start at $399/month and are built for funded companies. PenaltyProof is built for you.

Administrative dissolution
Missed reports can cost your good standing.

Repeatedly missed annual reports can lead to loss of good standing or administrative dissolution, depending on the state — and reinstatement costs money and time.

Sales tax penalty
Late filing can cost you — even on $0 due.

Late-filing penalties and interest vary by state, and some registered businesses must file even for periods with no tax due.

Economic nexus
Sell into a new state? You may owe it.

Economic-nexus thresholds vary by state and can depend on revenue, transaction type, and other factors. Most owners never find out a state started counting until it's late.
