Most business owners use a professional service to keep their personal address off public record and ensure consistent availability when legal documents arrive.
Arkansas requires all LLCs and corporations to file an annual report and pay a franchise tax each year, due May 1. The minimum franchise tax is $150 for both LLCs and corporations, though corporations with more capital authorized may pay more. Failure to file can result in forfeiture of good standing. URA sends reminders before the May 1 deadline.
Failing to maintain a registered agent can result in administrative dissolution or revocation of authority to do business in the state. This removes your liability protection and can have serious legal and financial consequences. Reinstatement requires fees and additional filings.
