Good standing impact
Failing to file annual statements can result in not-good-standing status and dissolution or revocation after the state's two-year grace period.
Reinstatement process
Submit the Application for Reinstatement, file the back annual statements, and pay all statement fees, late fees, and any reinstatement charges required by LARA before relying on good-standing status.
Registered agent notice
Michigan requires a resident agent. LARA says email reminders are sent to the email registered with the business entity, so the registered agent alone is not enough to guarantee annual statement notice.
