What are the requirements for filing annual reports for LLCs in North Carolina?

In North Carolina, Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) are required to file annual reports with the Secretary of State. This is a crucial part of maintaining your LLC's status and ensuring compliance with state regulations. If your LLC is formed after April 15th, you will not have to file an annual report for that year. The annual report should include key information about your LLC. This includes the name of the LLC, its address, and the name and address of its registered agent. The registered agent is a person or business entity that is authorized to receive legal papers and correspondence on behalf of the LLC. It's important to note that the registered agent must be a resident of North Carolina or a corporation authorized to do business in the state. In addition to the above, the annual report may also include the LLC's dissolution date (if applicable), the form of management (whether the LLC is run by members or managers), and the name and address of each person signing the articles. While not necessary, additional information about the LLC can also be included in the annual report.
