Anaheim Statement of Information

When you first form a corporation, LLC, or nonprofit, you are required to file Articles of Incorporation. This document outlines basic information about your business. 

But there are still decisions to make. For example, if you form a corporation, you’ll need to appoint executive staff members and decide who will make up your board of directors. 

This is where a Statement of Information comes in. It keeps the California Secretary of State updated with information about participants in your organization after you start your business, and periodically thereafter.  

In California, the Statement is filed with the CA Secretary of State’s office and can be accessed by the public.

What’s in an Anaheim Statement of Information?

A Statement of Information expands on the information you provided in your Articles of Incorporation. And it keeps the Secretary of State updated with changes that happen from year to year, based on decisions made by your executive team, board of directors, or other key figures. 

The information required on an Anaheim Secretary of State Statement of Information form varies slightly based on whether your business is an LLC or a corporation. In general, you’ll need to provide: 

  • The name of your LLC or corporation
  • The Secretary of State entity number
  • Physical address of the principal executive office
  • Mailing address, if different from principal office
  • The names and addresses of officers and directors (corporations)
  • The names and addresses of managers and members, if applicable (LLCs)
  • The name and address of the LLC’s Chief Executive Officer, if appointed
  • General statement of the business and services of the company
  • Name and address of the Agent for Service of Process 

The person who fills out the Statement of Information must sign and date it at the bottom.

When Do I File?

You are required to file your first CA Statement of Information within 90 days of forming your Anaheim business. After that, the filing schedule depends on the type of business entity you have, as follows:

  • Corporations – Annually
  • Registered Foreign Corporations – Annually
  • Agricultural Cooperatives – Annually
  • Nonprofits – Biennially (every 2 years)
  • LLCs – Biennially (every 2 years)

Whether you are required to file annually or biennially, the due date is always your anniversary month (the month you first registered your business). 

For example, if you first registered your business on November 20, 2022, your first Statement of Information would be due by February 20, 2023. 

After that, you would need to file annually or every other year by the end of November. The state gives you a six-month window to file, so you can file anytime between June 1 and November 30.

What Happens If I Don't File?

Not filing your Statement of Information can have serious consequences for the health of your business. 

The state of California will charge you a penalty fee for late filing. And until you file, your business will not be in good standing with the Secretary of State. This would make it hard to get a business loan or expand your operations.   

In the worst-case scenario, the Franchise Tax Board could dissolve your business. Once that happens, you will no longer be able to legally conduct business in California or bring an action in state court. It’s not worth taking a chance. Get help filing if you need it.
