For business owners

Secretary of State compliance monitoring, built for owning one company — or a few.

Standing checks your company's Secretary of State standing automatically and tells you the moment it needs attention — so you're not the one finding out it was administratively dissolved from a letter in the mail.

The problem

Nobody at a small company owns "watch the state registry."

You're busy running the business

Annual report deadlines and registered-agent renewals aren't the reason you started a company — they're the paperwork you deal with only when something forces you to.

Dissolution is silent

The state doesn't call when your entity lapses into delinquent or gets administratively dissolved — it just sits there, quietly wrong, until a bank or a customer asks for a good-standing certificate.

A calendar reminder isn't enough

Every state's due-date window, filing requirements, and registered-agent rules are different — a generic reminder tells you "sometime this year," not whether your filing window is actually open right now.

How it works

Add your company once. It runs itself from there.

  1. 1

    Search & confirm

    Search your company's Secretary of State record and confirm the exact entity — so the record is right, not a guess based on the name.

  2. 2

    We watch it

    Standing re-checks your standing on a schedule, straight from the state's own registry — status, registered agent, and filing history.

  3. 3

    We notify you

    The moment anything drifts toward due-soon or delinquent, you hear it from Standing — not from a customer, a bank, or a certificate request you can't fulfill.

  4. 4

    Own more than one company?

    Add each one — every company you own shows up on the same single dashboard, so you're never checking five different state websites by hand.

Built for how a small book actually looks

Not a compliance platform built for a firm, shrunk down for you.

One screen, every company

Whether it's one LLC or a handful, they're all on the same dashboard — no separate logins, no separate state-website bookmarks to remember.

Checked at the source

We read the state registry directly, so your status is the state's status — not a copy that's weeks old.

Fail-closed, always

If a state registry can't be confirmed, Standing says so — it never guesses "in good standing." Silence is never mistaken for safety.

Common questions

From owners sizing this up.

What is Secretary of State compliance monitoring?

It's tracking whether your company is current with the state it's registered in — annual reports filed, registered agent up to date, no lapse into delinquent or administratively-dissolved status. Standing automates that check on a schedule, instead of you needing to remember to look it up.

I only have one company — is this overkill?

The Solo plan is built for exactly that — a single entity or a very small handful, monitored automatically instead of by memory. It costs less than the certified-mail fee for the notice you'd get if a filing lapsed.

Which states does Standing cover?

All 50 states plus DC. Most states get a live, automated check straight from the registry; the rest are tracked manually until we add automated coverage there — see exactly which is which on our coverage page.

What happens if a state's site is down or can't be checked?

Standing tells you it couldn't confirm the status — it never reports "in good standing" as a fallback guess. A missed check shows up as needing attention, not as silent reassurance.

Can my accountant or a partner see this too?

Yes — Standing also works for accounting firms managing a full book of clients, with its own logins and permissions per person. See how it works for firms if that's closer to your situation.
