A Simple Compliance Calendar For Small Businesses

Compliance work is easier when it is calendarized before deadlines start arriving by email, mail, and memory.

Create Annual Buckets

Use separate calendar buckets for state annual reports, tax filing dates, estimated tax reminders where applicable, license renewals, registered agent notices, insurance renewals, and major contract renewals.

The calendar does not need to solve every issue. It needs to prevent the business from missing obvious dates.

Keep The Mail Visible

State notices, IRS letters, bank letters, and insurance notices should go into a central folder immediately. A notice sitting in a text message is not a workflow.

Attach Documents To Deadlines

A deadline reminder is stronger when the supporting documents are attached or linked: prior filing confirmation, account login, entity number, EIN letter, and contact details.
