What happens if you miss it
Missing the deadline can add a late penalty on top of the report fee. The Minnesota Secretary of State can also mark the LLC not in good standing, and after enough missed reports it can dissolve the company.
Banks and other states can refuse to work with an LLC that is not in good standing.
After you file
Save the confirmation the day you file. Banks and other states may ask for it.
If someone needs official proof, order a certificate of good standing from Minnesota while the record is current.
The next report is due on the same date next year. Keep your Minnesota registered agent active so state mail still reaches you.
