Domestic and registered foreign LLCs generally deliver annual reports between January 1 and April 1 (RSA 304-C:194). The first report is generally due in the calendar year after formation or registration. An LLC formed or registered between December 1 of the preceding year and April 1 of the current year need not file during the current year. LLCs making returns to the insurance commissioner are outside this report requirement. Confirm the first due year before paying a late fee.

Corporate documents govern how a company makes decisions, records them, and handles disputes between owners, directors, and officers. Proper corporate paperwork is what lets a business take advantage of limited liability, pass clean audits, and survive an acquisition or investor review. Skipping formalities like written resolutions and signed consents is one of the fastest ways for a business owner to lose personal asset protection.
