Compliance Guard review
Stay in good standing with deadline tracking and filings.
Overview
A compliance service tracks the recurring obligations that keep your LLC in good standing — annual reports, registered agent renewals, and key filing deadlines — and reminds you (or files) before they lapse. For owners juggling multiple states or who simply forget dates, it’s cheap insurance.
It overlaps with features some formation services bundle, so check what you already have before adding it.
Pros
- Deadline tracking
- Filing reminders
Cons
- Overlaps with some formation services
Pricing
| Plan | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance tracking | from ~$99/year | Deadline tracking and reminders. |
| Managed filing | higher tier | They prepare and file reports (state fees extra). |
Pricing is representative and changes often — confirm current plans and fees on the provider’s website before purchasing.
What it tracks
Annual/biennial report deadlines, registered agent renewals, and other state-specific compliance dates, with reminders ahead of time.
Some services can prepare and file reports on your behalf (state fees apply).
Is it worth it?
If you operate in multiple states or have missed deadlines before, automated tracking pays for itself by avoiding penalties and reinstatement costs.
If your formation provider already includes compliance tracking, you may not need a separate tool.
Who it’s for
- Owners operating in multiple states
- Anyone who has missed (or fears missing) a compliance deadline
- Busy founders who want filings handled for them
Who should look elsewhere
- Single-state owners comfortable calendaring their own deadlines
- Those whose formation service already tracks compliance
Best for
Our verdict
A compliance service is worthwhile if you value never thinking about deadlines again — particularly across multiple states. Otherwise, a calendar reminder and your registered agent’s notices may be enough.
