Company Not in Good Standing
Arkansas Corporations are required to file a Corporation Annual Franchise Tax Report with the Arkansas Secretary of State every year. The most common reason we find for an Arkansas company not to be in Good Standing is that a required Annual Franchise Tax Report has not been not filed with the Arkansas Secretary of State on time.
The Arkansas Corporation Annual Report is part of the AR Corporation Annual Franchise Tax Report and is due at the Arkansas Secretary of State by 1st May each year. If you fail to file an Arkansas Annual Franchise Tax Report on time you will fall out of Good Standing and your business could be administratively dissolved by the Arkansas Secretary of State.
Arkansas Company Restoration – Company Reinstatement
If your Arkansas company is administratively dissolved it is illegal for you to conduct business in the State of Arkansas. An Arkansas Corporation company name becomes available for anyone to use when the Arkansas Corporation is dissolved by the Arkansas Secretary of State.
We can reinstate your Arkansas Company, we first check the company file and advise on why the Corporation, LLC or LP is not in Good Standing and the reinstatement fees. In order to get your company back into Good Standing you will have to pay for any delinquent Annual Franchise Tax Report and pay a Reinstatement fee.
