Santa Rosa Statement of Information

A Statement of Information is one of several important forms you must file with the California Secretary of State to do business in the Golden State.

In the days and weeks after forming your business you’ll need to hire executive staff members and choose a board of directors. You are required to report this information to the state.

This is the purpose of a CA Statement of Information. It keeps the California Secretary of State updated on participants in your organization, both in the early days of starting your business and periodically thereafter.

When to File a Statement of Information in Santa Rosa

Your first CA Statement of Information is due within 90 days of forming your Santa Rosa business. After that, you are required to file either annually or biennially (every two years) depending on the type of business structure you have, as follows:

Corporations (domestic and foreign) – Annually
Agricultural Cooperatives – Annually
Credit Unions – Biennially
Nonprofits – Biennially
LLCs – Biennially

The California Secretary of State gives you a six-month filing window. This includes the entire month you originally registered your business, plus the preceding 5 months.

For example, if you own a corporation and first registered your business in the month of June, your next Statement of Information will be due the following year by the end of June. But you can file anytime between January 1 and June 30 of that year.

If any changes occur between the required filing periods, you should submit an updated statement.

What Information Do I Need to Provide?

While some states require detailed financial information (such as cash flow statements and profit-and-loss reports) in a Statement of Information, California requires only basic information about your Santa Rosa business.

The information requirements vary based on the type of business entity you have. 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.

What Happens If I Don’t File a Santa Rosa Statement of Information?

If you don’t file the required Santa Rosa Secretary of State Statement of Information accurately and on time, you could face steep penalties, including the eventual suspension or forfeiture of your business.

The state usually sends reminder notices before your Santa Rosa Statement of Information is due, but you shouldn’t rely on this. Keep in mind that if your business address changes, you may not receive these notices.

Make sure to appoint someone within your company to track which filings are due and when.
