Michigan requires an annual statement, the state's annual report, each year, due February 15, for a $25 fee. Missing the deadline drives the LLC toward administrative dissolution, which ends the liability shield until reinstatement. Anonymousllc.co files the Michigan annual statement as part of its $100/year registered agent service.
The Michigan annual statement is the state's yearly report that confirms the resident agent, the registered office, and the principal business address. Michigan charges a $25 fee for each filing. The Michigan Corporations Division issues a pre-printed statement about three months before the due date. The filing keeps the LLC in good standing and current on the public record. It does not require a fresh disclosure of ownership beyond what Michigan already lists at formation. The statement is a short confirmation, not a financial report: it carries no income figures, no balance sheet, and no tax data. Michigan handles income tax separately through the owner's individual return at the flat 4.25% rate, so the annual statement and the tax return are two distinct obligations.
The Michigan LLC annual statement is due February 15 every year, starting the year after formation. An LLC formed after September 30 skips the following February 15 and files the year after. Anonymousllc.co tracks the February 15 deadline for every client and files the statement on request as part of registered agent service. The fixed calendar date, rather than a formation-anniversary date, makes the Michigan deadline simple to track across a portfolio of LLCs.
Missing the February 15 deadline moves the Michigan LLC out of good standing, and continued non-filing leads to administrative dissolution. Dissolution ends the liability shield until the LLC is reinstated. Michigan sends notice before dissolving an entity, and the LLC reinstates by filing the missing statements and paying accrued fees. Anonymousllc.co tracks the deadline and files on request, so the entity never reaches dissolution in the first place. Between the missed deadline and dissolution, the LLC sits in a not-in-good-standing status that blocks a certificate of good standing, which banks and lenders request before transacting. Clearing the status early, by filing the overdue statement and the $25 fee, restores the certificate and avoids the full reinstatement process.
Michigan annual statements are filed online through the state Corporations Online Filing System, or by mail using the pre-printed form. The $25 fee is paid at submission. Anonymousllc.co clients opt into automatic annual statement filing as part of registered agent service; the team completes the form and confirms submission each year. A do-it-yourself filer logs into the state portal, updates the resident agent and address fields, and pays the $25 fee directly. The online filing posts to the public record within a business day, and the state returns a stamped confirmation. Keeping that confirmation each year builds a clean compliance history, which matters when the LLC applies for financing or a buyer reviews the entity during an acquisition.
The Michigan annual statement costs $25 per year. If the LLC uses a commercial registered agent, add $100/year for that service. Anonymousllc.co includes the registered agent free in year one of any formation package and files the annual statement on request. From year two, the combined ongoing cost is near $125/year: the $25 statement plus the $100/year registered agent renewal. The $25 fee is the same for a single-member and a multi-member Michigan LLC, since the statement confirms the entity rather than the number of owners. Michigan adds no income figures or gross-receipts calculation to the statement, so the fee stays flat regardless of how much the business earns.
The Michigan annual statement confirms the resident agent, registered office, and principal address; it does not add a fresh public disclosure of members beyond what Michigan already lists. Disclosure depends on the LLC's management structure. Michigan discloses a member or manager on the public record, so a founder who needs ownership privacy forms a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC and foreign-qualifies into Michigan. The annual statement then names the anonymous parent LLC rather than an individual.
Yes. Anonymousllc.co registered agent service includes annual statement deadline tracking and filing on request. The team completes the form, confirms the resident agent and address, and submits the $25 fee each year. Year one of registered agent service is free with any formation package, and renewal is $100/year. This keeps the February 15 deadline handled without the owner watching the calendar, so the LLC stays in good standing year after year.
Reinstating an administratively dissolved Michigan LLC requires filing every missing annual statement, paying accrued penalties, and submitting a certificate of restoration to the Secretary of State. Anonymousllc.co handles Michigan reinstatements at $250 plus state fees on a case-by-case basis. Reinstatement restores the LLC to good standing and, once approved, revives the liability shield. Filing the annual statement on time each year is far cheaper than the reinstatement path, which is why Anonymousllc.co tracks the deadline for every client. During the dissolved period, the LLC name is also exposed: another business can claim it once the entity leaves active status. Reinstating quickly protects the name, and filing the $25 statement on time each year keeps the entity active so the question never arises.
The Michigan annual statement itself does not create owner anonymity, because Michigan already discloses a member or manager on the public record. A founder who needs ownership off the record forms in an anonymous state. The four anonymous-LLC states are Wyoming, New Mexico, Delaware, and Nevada. A Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC that foreign-qualifies into Michigan files the Michigan annual statement under the parent LLC's name, so no individual owner appears on the annual filing. The anonymous parent also files its own home-state report where one applies: Wyoming's $60 minimum annual report or, for New Mexico, no annual report at all. Anonymousllc.co tracks both the Michigan annual statement and the parent state's filing so the full structure stays in good standing.
Keep a Michigan LLC in good standing by filing the $25 annual statement by February 15 each year and maintaining a resident agent with a physical Michigan address. Both are ongoing state requirements. Anonymousllc.co covers both: registered agent service at $100/year plus annual statement filing on request. A lapse in either drives the LLC toward administrative dissolution, so the two requirements are the core of Michigan compliance. Good standing matters beyond the state file: banks, lenders, and buyers pull a certificate of good standing before they transact, and a lapsed LLC fails that check. Filing on time each year keeps the certificate available whenever the business needs it.
The Michigan annual statement updates the resident agent, the registered office address, and the principal business address on the public record. It confirms the LLC is active and keeps the Secretary of State's file current. When a founder changes registered agent, moves the principal office, or updates the mailing address, the annual statement is the routine place to record it, and a mid-year Statement of Change handles urgent updates. The statement does not reopen ownership disclosure beyond what Michigan collected at formation. An accurate statement matters because the resident agent address is where the state and courts send legal service. A stale address risks a missed lawsuit and a default judgment, which is why Anonymousllc.co confirms the agent and address fields each year before filing. For a Wyoming or New Mexico anonymous LLC that foreign-qualified into Michigan, the Michigan annual statement lists the parent LLC as the registered entity, so the individual owner never appears. Anonymousllc.co files the statement for both direct Michigan LLCs and foreign-qualified anonymous structures as part of its $100/year registered agent service, tracking the February 15 deadline for every client.
