New Jersey Business Annual Reports
All for-profit and non-profit corporations, LLCs, LLPs, and LPs registered in New Jersey are required to file an annual report to maintain “Active” status.
What is the New Jersey : Annual Report
In New Jersey, the Annual Report is a mandatory yearly filing that serves as a “status check” for your business. It is used to update the State on your company’s basic contact information and ensures your business remains in “Good Standing.”
Here is a detailed breakdown of what it entails:
Who Must File ?
Almost all formal business entities registered in New Jersey are required to file, including:
- Domestic and Foreign LLCs (Limited Liability Companies)
- For-profit and Non-profit Corporations
- LPs (Limited Partnerships) and LLPs (Limited Liability Partnerships)
- Note: General Partnerships and Sole Proprietorships are typically exempt.
What Information is Required ?
The report is not a financial statement (it doesn’t ask for your profits). Instead, it asks for:
- Registered Agent: Name and physical address of the person/entity authorized to receive legal documents.
- Business Address: The principal office address.
- Officers/Directors/Members: The names and addresses of the people running the company.
- Workers’ Compensation: You must state whether the business is obligated to carry workers’ comp insurance.
What Happens if You Don't File ?
While New Jersey does not charge an immediate “late fee,” the long-term consequences are severe:
- Loss of Good Standing: After just one missed filing, your business status changes. You may find it impossible to get a business loan, sell the company, or obtain a “Certificate of Standing.”
- Administrative Revocation: If you fail to file for two consecutive years, the State will legally revoke your business charter. This means you lose your liability protection, and your business name becomes available for others to take.
Reinstatement Costs: To fix a revoked status, you must pay all back fees, a reinstatement fee (approx. $75–$200 depending on entity type), and obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate ($20).
