Small business owners know all too well the many hoops that must be jumped through in order to stay compliant. From tax regulations to permit requirements, every state has its own set of rules about how to run a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). At some point, owners may be asked to provide a certificate of good standing, especially if they are interested in pursuing a loan or potential investor. This certificate shows that the entity is in compliance with all state requirements. Obtaining a copy runs the gamut from a simple, free online form to a pricier, expedited mail-in option. It all depends on the state the business resides in. Here’s how to get a certificate of good standing in your state.
