The California catch.
People pay to change their agent when they need not. An amended LLC-12 filed between periods solely to report a change, a new agent included, carries no fee. The fee is for the required biennial statement. And it is biennial, not annual.
Whose job it is.
With the annual report autopilot, ours: we prepare it and file it before it is due. Without it, we remind you before every deadline.
