Kansas's annual report, handled.

Kansas LLCs must file an annual report with the Kansas Secretary of State every two years. The fee is $50. Miss the deadline and the state imposes a state-imposed late fee, plus the risk of administrative dissolution.

We send you reminders 60, 30, and 7 days out — every year — with a one-click link to file. No storage of your payment information between years, and no auto-charging.

05 · Requirements

What Kansas asks of you.

A short list. Have this ready when we call and your filing goes out the same day.

Req. 01

A unique LLC name

Must end in "LLC," "L.L.C.," or "Limited Liability Company" and be distinguishable from other Kansas entities. We check Kansas Secretary of State before filing — if your first choice is taken, we'll call before submitting anything.

A resident agent in Kansas

Required by statute. Our Topeka office serves as your resident agent for the first year at no additional cost. You can switch to a different agent at any time.

Req. 03

The individual or entity who owns or manages the LLC. Kansas allows single-member LLCs. If you have partners, we'll draft the operating agreement to reflect ownership splits and voting rights.

You can specify a future effective date up to 90 days out — useful for aligning a January 1 start for tax purposes. We'll ask on the reservation call.
