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 Maine.
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
Maine.
Your employee handbook is a manual that describes your company policies, clarifies expectations on how to adhere to them, and outlines consequences. It includes policies required by federal, state, and local employment laws as well as company-specific policies. As such, it protects you and your employees alike — but how can you ensure every member of your team understands what’s in it? That’s the job of the employee handbook acknowledgment.
Keeping a keen eye on payroll is essential. Payroll reports are the financial blueprint leading companies through compliance and financial management.
These documents are the narrative of a business’s financial health, employee compensation, and adherence to the regulations governing the modern workplace.

Saying goodbye is never easy. Whether an employee is moving on to new opportunities, retiring after years of dedicated service, or leaving under less favorable circumstances, how you handle their departure matters. A lot.
Sure, employee offboarding—the process of formally separating an employee from an organization—gets overshadowed by its flashier counterpart, onboarding. However, it deserves just as much attention. Think about it—a rock-solid offboarding process protects your company from security risks, maintains team morale, transfers vital knowledge, and might even turn departing staff into future brand ambassadors.
