OVERVIEW

The annual renewal fees are the annually recurring government and professional fees that your company must pay in order to continue and maintain the company in good legal standing as per the laws of the state of registration.

Scope of services:

Provision of one additional year of registered address services
Provision of one additional year of company secretary services
Payment of the annual registry fees to the authorities and/or registered agent fees
File review and update
Provision of SFM account manager for the full year

**Updated documents such as renewed business license, filed annual return, confirmation receipt, may only be available after the completion of the renewal.

Failure to pay the annual renewal fees by the due date will result in the company to lose its good standing. Authorities may impose a penalty for late annual fees. The company may be struck off the register after a certain period past the due date, this period is determined by the authorities.

FAQ:

Renewing your company ensures it remains in good standing with the relevant authorities and legally able to operate. Without renewal, the company cannot validly conduct business activities and may face restrictions or penalties.
Most jurisdictions require an annual confirmation that a company is still active and compliant. This includes maintaining a registered address, a registered agent, and fulfilling regulatory obligations. Annual renewal is therefore a legal requirement, not an optional process.

Paying the renewal invoice is necessary, but it does not complete the renewal on its own. The process also includes maintaining the company’s legal structure, meeting specific jurisdictional requirements, and completing compliance reviews.

This means ensuring that the registered agent and address remain valid, company records are up to date, and all required filings and regulatory checks are properly completed.

In short, payment is only one part of the process — full compliance is what ensures your company remains in good standing.

The documents required may vary depending on the jurisdiction, but commonly include:

  • Updated KYC documents (e.g. passport copy, proof of address).
  • Confirmation of company activities and business operations.
  • Details of shareholders, directors, or beneficial owners (if changes apply).
  • Financial information or accounting records (where applicable).
  • Signed declarations or compliance forms.
  • Updated Due Diligence information about the company and its related parties (when required).

Providing these documents on time allows the Registered Agent to complete the necessary filings and ensures your company remains compliant.

Preparing in advance helps avoid last-minute issues such as payment delays, missing documentation, or compliance gaps. Late action can result in penalties, loss of good standing, or even disruption to your company’s operations (e.g., banking or contractual limitations).
Invoices are issued in advance to give you sufficient time to review, arrange payment, and address any related compliance requirements. This proactive approach helps ensure continuity and avoids the risks associated with late renewal.

The renewal fees typically cover:

  • Government fees required to maintain the company
  • Registered address and registered agent services
  • Ongoing administrative and compliance support
Failure to renew may result in the company losing its good standing status. This can lead to penalties, restrictions on operations, potential bank account closure, and ultimately the company being struck off the register.
Payments can be made via credit card or bank transfer. In some cases, cash payments may also be accepted at our offices.

If you decide to discontinue your company, the proper approach is to proceed with a voluntary liquidation. This ensures the company is closed in a compliant and orderly manner.
