Keep a certificate of good standing ready

You will not need it until you need it quickly.

• Know who will ask: banks, landlords, other states, buyers, insurers.

• Check the annual report is filed and the fee paid.

• Check the registered agent on record is current and reachable.

• Order the certificate from the state rather than reusing an old copy.

• Fix what lapsed first if the state refuses to issue one.

• Diary the filings so standing is never the thing holding up a deal.
