Description
Business claiming to be an agency of the state requesting annual business filing fee with the following threat... "An annual report must be filed each year for your business entity to maintain an “active status” with the Department of State. It updates or confirms your records with the North Carolina Department of State, Division of Corporations, displaying your business’s most current data on file. It is required, whether or not you need to make changes. It is not a financial statement. If a business files late, a $200 late fee will be imposed on you by The State. If you do not file within 60 days of being late, your business entity may be administratively dissolved or revoked. Businesses may acquire additional reinstatement fees"
