Most states require that you renew your business registration regularly, and renewal frequency can vary from state to state. Some states require it every year, some every other year, or even every 10 years. Typically your business' registered agent will receive a notice when the filing is coming due, which is why it is important to keep your information on file with the state up-to-date.
Failure to renew your business can cause the business to become suspended or even become terminated, and, consequently, risk losing the personal liability protection a business entity provides you.
