The information you enter into your public information report is not confidential.
(Hence the word “public” in the name of the report)
It doesn’t just go to the state.
The state puts that info ON. BLAST.
This is not trivial.
If you care at all about protecting your privacy then there are right answers and there are very wrong answers to the questions in this report.
And many accountants don’t think of this.
And almost no business owners knows this.
LLC attorneys who have been paid hundreds and thousands of dollars to fix the problems caused by this report (like myself) know this all too well.
And here’s the real issue: I can’t entirely erase information that was entered into a public information report.
I can fix the info that the public can see without logging in to the state records.
But anyone with a login to the Secretary of State records (which anyone can get), can see all of your past filings.
For one client - protecting her privacy was paramount, so we spent thousands of dollars and a lot of hours terminating her existing entities and reforming them so she had a clean slate (that I’m going to keep clean from now on).
If you want this same attention to detail on your Public Information Report (due this Friday), comment or DM me “PIR”.
