Who Is Responsible for Business Filings If Something is Missed?

This is an uncomfortable but important reality.

Legally, the responsibility for business filings ultimately rests with the business owner - even when advisors or services are involved.

That’s Why:

• Engagement letters matter

• The scope of services should be confirmed

• Monitoring entity status is essential

This does not mean business owners must do everything themselves. It means they must understand who is responsible for what.

A clear role protects everyone involved.
