Comprehensive State Compliance & Entity Management Services

Entity management, or legal entity management, is the process of making sure an organization meets its legal and regulatory obligations, including business registrations, licenses, tax accounts, and record keeping.

As companies expand across multiple states, these requirements become more complex. Entity management services help centralize compliance, track reporting due dates, and maintain good standing.

Harbor’s State Compliance & Entity Management Service provides both businesses and their owners a multitude of benefits that include but are not limited to:

• Concierge Services: Working with accounting and entity management professionals provides quick access to information and a single source of truth.
• Registered Agent Services: Harbor’s entity management software provides the services you are already paying for, coupled with the additional benefits of tailored customer support and due date notices through an easy-to-use, individualized portal.
