# Business Compliance
Business compliance refers to the ongoing obligations a company must fulfill to maintain its legal status and good standing. This includes filing annual reports, paying franchise taxes, maintaining a registered agent, updating business information when it changes, and meeting industry-specific regulatory requirements.
Compliance is not a one-time event — it's a continuous process that begins the day your entity is formed and continues until it's properly dissolved. Missing compliance obligations is the number one reason businesses lose good standing or face administrative dissolution.
Lovie's compliance monitoring system tracks every obligation across all your registered states, sending proactive alerts and handling filings before deadlines arrive.
