Indiana lesson 6 of 6
Stay compliant in Indiana
Indiana's ongoing paperwork is lighter than most states because the report is due only every two years, but that also makes it easier to lose track of the exact due month.
The Business Entity Report
Every Indiana LLC files a Business Entity Report with the Secretary of State once every two years, in the anniversary month of formation, through INBiz. Confirm the current filing fee on INBiz, since it differs for online and paper filing.
- Filed biennially, not annually, in the LLC's anniversary month
- Filed online through INBiz or by mailing a paper form
- Keeps the LLC's registered agent and address current on the public record
If you fall behind
Missing a Business Entity Report can lead to administrative dissolution of the LLC by the Secretary of State. A dissolved LLC can generally be reinstated by filing the missing report and paying what is owed, but the business loses good standing and name protection in the meantime.
Set a recurring reminder for the anniversary month rather than relying on memory. A two-year cycle is long enough that most people forget exactly when it falls.
Key takeaways
- File the Business Entity Report every two years through INBiz, in the anniversary month.
- Keep the registered agent and address updated between reports.
- Administrative dissolution is reversible through reinstatement, but it costs time and fees.
