Basics
  • Basics

    Advanced Compliance is designed for business owners who want the highest level of ongoing compliance support and protection. It’s ideal if your business is growing, changing, or if you prefer ZenBusiness to handle more compliance monitoring and filings for you – so you can reduce risk, avoid missed filings, and stay in good standing with less hands-on effort.

    Opting for this plan is recommended if you:

    • Expect to make multiple changes to your business information
    • Want help staying in good standing without tracking everything yourself
    • Need a Certificate of Good Standing for loans, licenses, insurance, or expansion
    • Prefer dedicated, expert compliance support
    • Want added protection if a filing issue occurs

    If your business is very stable and you’re comfortable managing some filings and deadlines on your own, then our Worry-Free Compliance service may be sufficient.

  • Basics

    Falling out of good standing can put your business and your personal liability protection at risk. While no service can eliminate all risk, Advanced Compliance helps you stay organized and avoid common compliance issues.

  • Basics

    Registered Agent and Advanced Compliance both help your business stay compliant, but are separate services that serve different purposes, and many businesses use both.

    A Registered Agent is required by law and acts as your business’s official point of contact with the state. They receive legal and government documents on your behalf – such as lawsuits, subpoenas, and official notices and ensure those documents are delivered to you promptly.

    Advanced Compliance focuses on helping you stay compliant over time as you run and grow your business. It helps you track compliance deadlines, handle eligible required filings like annual reports, update your business information, obtain your Certificate of Good Standing, and get expert compliance support as questions come up.

    Registered Agent service isn’t included because it’s a separate legal requirement with its own responsibilities and costs. Advanced Compliance is designed to complement Registered Agent service not replace it, by helping you stay organized, up to date, and in good standing.

Getting Started
  • Getting Started

    Advanced Compliance is offered as part of both our Pro and Premium packages. It’s free for the first year when you choose the Pro package and then renews at $99/yr after that. It is included at no extra cost as part of the Premium formation package.

    If you didn’t opt for the Pro or Premium plan, then it costs:

    • $99/year as an add-on if you already have Worry-Free Compliance
    • $299/year as a standalone service

    You can cancel at any time before renewal and still keep coverage through the end of your current term.

Using a Service
  • Using a Service

    The Worry-Free Compliance service covers annual report filings, compliance alerts, and up to two business amendments per year. Adding Advanced Compliance includes important features designed to give you more tools and provide maximum protection to keep your business on track including 24/17 compliance monitoring, money-back guarantee, unlimited amendment filings, a good standing certificate, and advanced compliance support.

  • Using a Service

    It’s a state requirement that you update your business documents with the state any time you change your business name, address, or ownership details.

    Worry-Free Compliance includes two amendment filings per year and then each additional amendment costs $100 after that. With Advanced Compliance, ZenBusiness will cover as many business amendments as you need throughout the year (state filing fees may still apply) without charging additional ZenBusiness service fees. If you expect to make regular changes to your name, address, or ownership details then it’s best to upgrade to Advanced Compliance.

  • Using a Service

    This is a higher level of support than standard customer service. Advanced Compliance Support gives you access to a dedicated team focused specifically on compliance questions and state requirements.

    They can help guide you through:

    • Filing requirements
    • Deadlines
    • Maintaining good standing
    • Understanding compliance-related changes

    While standard support can help with most general compliance questions, Advanced Compliance Support provides more personalized, compliance-focused assistance, including scheduled time with experts who specialize in state requirements and filings.

  • Using a Service

    ZenBusiness uses a combination of AI-powered technology and expert review to proactively monitor key federal and state regulatory changes relevant to your LLC and will notify you when important updates or actions may be required. It excludes professional, occupational, or business-specific licensing and permitting requirements.

  • Using a Service

    ZenBusiness will handle eligible filings included in your plan, such as amendments and obtaining your Certificate of Good Standing.

    Some actions may still require:

    • Your confirmation
    • Additional business information
    • Payment of required state filing fees
Compliance
  • Compliance

    A Certificate of Good Standing is a state-issued document proving your business is compliant with state requirements.

    It’s commonly required when:

    • Applying for loans or funding
    • Renewing licenses or permits
    • Getting insurance
    • Expanding into another state
    • Bidding on government contracts
  • Compliance

    It’s included annually with Advanced Compliance at no additional ZenBusiness service charge.

    Without Advanced Compliance, we charge $100 plus state fees to obtain a Certificate of Good Standing on your behalf.

  • Compliance

    Different states use different names for a Certificate of Good Standing like Certificate of Status or Certificate of Existence. Regardless of the name, Advanced Compliance has you covered and includes the equivalent document your state issues, regardless of the title.

  • Compliance

    If your business receives a state fine solely because ZenBusiness missed a deadline for a covered filing, ZenBusiness will pay that fine.

    Covered filings include:

    • Annual reports
    • Amendment filings

    The guarantee does not apply if you do not maintain your compliance coverage, you do not complete a required filing step, or you do not pay the required state fees.
