How Our Connecticut Annual Report Service Works

With Northwest’s elite Connecticut annual report service (sometimes called “compliance service,”) you can trust that your business will stay compliant and in good standing, so you never have to worry about costly late fees or your company being administratively dissolved.

For $100 plus the state-mandated report fee, we’ll file your annual report. For most Connecticut businesses, that’s around $200 total.

Run your business on your terms by adding or canceling Connecticut Annual Report Service anytime.

• You can sign up for this service by itself or add it on to an existing service. Compliance service is automatically added when you hire us to provide your CT registered agent service or form your Connecticut LLC, Connecticut corporation or Connecticut nonprofit.

• Once you’ve signed up for compliance service, you’ll pay nothing up front. We’ll send you a reminder 90 days before your filing due date and auto-charge your preferred method five days later.

Annual Report Service Benefits

At Northwest Registered Agent, we’re committed to protecting our clients’ privacy. That’s because we practice Privacy by Default®. Connecticut Annual Reports are public record, so we’ve designed our annual report service to protect your privacy. Here’s how:

1. In order to preserve your privacy, we will list OUR contact information instead of yours.

2. Only the minimum required information will be included.

3. We will list our IP address – limiting the connection between your cell phone, personal computer, and work computers – this makes it harder for advertisers to follow you.

4. We will list our bank and credit card information – not yours.

We believe everyone has the right to keep their information private. That’s why privacy is our guiding principle when we create every service and product.
