Frequently Asked Questions

What is entity management?

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.

What are the key benefits of entity management services from Aprio?

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

  • Maximize Tax Savings: Increase the value of your tax advisor’s insights and recommendations while taking full advantage of federal, state, and local tax incentives and credits that can offset tax liabilities.
Why is entity management important?

Entity management is essential for profitable growth. Every state imposes its own requirements for organizations doing business within its borders. Online sales, new locations, hiring, and M&A activities often trigger the need to register in additional states.

Proactive management and governance of multistate compliance requirements and other legal obligations reduces risk and saves companies man-hours and money that can be focused on more strategic activities that drive revenue and profitability.

Can Aprio manage entities across all 50 states?

Yes! Aprio supports nationwide operations, providing consistent compliance coverage for corporations, LLCs, and nonprofits across every jurisdiction.

How does Aprio manage license renewals?

The License Manager software monitors expiration dates, renewal requirements, and jurisdictional updates, while compliance specialists handle filings to ensure company license renewals are submitted on time. Aprio specializes in multistate compliance, centralizing licensing requirements and renewal processes across jurisdictions in one streamlined system.

What is a registered agent, and why is it required?

A registered agent is legally designated to receive service of process and official state communications on behalf of a business. Businesses must generally appoint a registered agent in every state where they operate.

What are the benefits of Aprio’s registered agent service?

Aprio offers commercial registered agent representation in every state, immediate electronic delivery of scanned documents, and nationwide coverage. This removes the risk of being served notice of a lawsuit in front of staff and/or customers and maintains reliable receipt of important legal documents.

Does Aprio handle the change of registered agent process?

Yes, as Aprio will complete the change of registered agent filing process to consolidate your representation. We will prepare the applications, coordinate any required signatures, and file the change of agent paperwork wherever a change is needed.

What annual and periodic filings does Aprio handle?

Aprio prepares and files annual and biennial reports and other recurring compliance documents required to maintain good standing. Additionally, we can assist in managing business licenses and recurring requirements like publishing.

Can Aprio manage filings for multiple entities at once?

Yes. Aprio scales to handle complex portfolios, helping maintain timely filing for all entities across multiple states.
