Order a Certificate of Standing

There are many situations in the business world where you are going to be asked for some kind of evidence that your business is a corporation or limited liability company and is in good standing with the state you formed your company in. To do this, it is often necessary to provide what is called a “Certificate of Good Standing “.

Some states call them Certificates of Status or Certificates of Existence. Essentially, the certificate is a state certification that verifies the corporation or limited liability company existence in that particular state and that all taxes and other liabilities to the state have been paid, and that the Annual Report and other required filings have been submitted. As you are doing business, you will find that many banks and insurance companies require this. Speedy will obtain this certificate for you at an affordable rate.
