Compliance for new US businesses

Never miss a state filing or deadline again

Kept tracks the annual reports, renewals and notices your business owes, and tells you in plain English what is due next.

We will email you when Kept opens. Nothing else.

What is due next

  • Annual report

    Due on your state's schedule

  • Business license renewal

    Tracked from your filing history

  • Registered agent notice

    Read and explained in plain English

  • State tax filing

    Flagged before it is late

Illustration of the idea. Your own list is built around your state and business type.

Forming the company was the easy part

Once an LLC or small corporation exists, the state keeps asking for things: annual reports, renewals, fees, updates to your registered details. Miss one, or lose a notice in the mail, and a company can slip out of good standing without anyone telling you.

Kept is built for that one job. It keeps a clear calendar of what your business owes and when, and explains each item in plain English so you know what to do.

What Kept does

Compliance is the whole product, not an add-on

  1. A calendar of what is due

    Annual reports, renewals and other state filings your business owes, laid out by date so nothing hides until it is late.

  2. Reminders before it matters

    A heads-up ahead of each deadline, so you can handle it on a quiet afternoon instead of in a scramble.

  3. Notices, translated

    When a letter or email arrives from the state, Kept tells you what it says, whether it is urgent, and what to do next.

  4. You approve every filing

    Nothing is filed in your name without your say. You see what is being submitted and you decide.

Your business, always in good standing.

Good standing is quiet when it is working. Kept exists so the first time you hear about a missed filing is never from the state.

How it works

A calm way to stay on top of it

  1. Tell us about the company

    Your state and your business type. That is what decides which filings and renewals apply to you.

  2. See your calendar

    Every filing, renewal and fee your business owes, in date order, each explained in plain English.

  3. Get nudged ahead of time

    Reminders arrive before a deadline, with what is needed and what happens if it is skipped.

  4. Approve, then it is done

    You review each filing before it goes anywhere. Your approval is always the last step.

Questions owners ask

What is "good standing"?

Good standing means your state considers your company current on its required filings and fees. Falling behind can lead to penalties or, in some states, to the company being administratively dissolved.

Who is Kept for?

Owners of LLCs and small corporations in their first few years, who run the business without admin staff and worry about missing a deadline or a lost state notice.

Does Kept give legal advice?

No. Kept tracks what your business owes and explains it in plain language. It is not a law firm. For legal questions, speak with an attorney.

Will Kept file things without asking me?

No. You approve every filing before it is submitted.
