How do compliance reminders work?
Compliance reminders help businesses keep track of upcoming filing and compliance deadlines based on the features of their service. Reminders are sent by email and are also available through the Swyft Filings customer portal in the compliance manager section, making it easier to view and keep track of upcoming requirements. Businesses remain responsible for ensuring applicable filings are completed accurately and on time.
ComplianceGuard is designed to centralize deadline tracking rather than require a business owner to maintain a separate spreadsheet of state dates. Swyft Filings states that alerts are provided by email and through the customer dashboard. Current service features may also include annual report filing, an amendment filing, an initial report where required, and digital recordkeeping tools, subject to the terms of the plan and applicable state fees.
Compliance obligations vary by state and entity type. Missing a required report, fee, tax, or registered agent requirement can lead to late fees, loss of good standing, administrative dissolution or revocation, and added reinstatement work. A filing service can help prepare and submit eligible documents, but the business should still keep its contact and company information current and review notices promptly.
