What else do I need to know?
There may be additional things you will need to do to
maintain your "good standing" in the state including having
a registered agent and other kinds of taxes.
Maintaining a Registered Agent
Most states require that you have a registered agent that
can receive important mail from the Secretary of State
should they need to contact you. There are many commercial
options available or you can use Mosey to be your registered
agent and keep your information private in District of Columbia.
Other Taxes
In addition to maintaining a registered agent, maintaining
your good standing can include additional taxes. This can
include franchise tax, sales tax, or other state taxes. You
can use Mosey to identify these additional requirements to
maintain good standing in District of Columbia.
Many businesses will need a registered agent at the time they file their business registration paperwork. In most states, there is no difference between a noncommercial registered agent and a commercial registered agent. Only 12 states make a distinction between the two types.
If you live in a state that distinguishes commercial registered agents from noncommercial registered agents, here’s what you should know about the differences and how to select the right type of registered agent for your business.
When it comes to classifying workers, there’s more than meets the eye. Beyond the familiar categories of employees and independent contractors, there’s a third type you need to know: statutory employees.
These workers are unique because they’re technically considered independent contractors, but certain laws require you to treat them as employees for tax purposes. Understanding who qualifies as a statutory employee is essential for maintaining compliance and avoiding legal headaches.
Most HR professionals juggle recruitment, compliance, benefits, and more, but one key metric often goes unnoticed: the HR-to-employee ratio. It tells you whether your HR team has the capacity to support your workforce effectively or if cracks are forming under the pressure.
For businesses operating across multiple states or managing remote teams, the stakes are even higher. A poorly balanced HR-to-employee ratio not only compromises efficiency but also opens the door to compliance risks, dissatisfied employees, and missed opportunities for strategic growth.
