Connecticut's Business Registrations
Effective January 1, 2025, Senate Bill 428 introduces several changes to business registration requirements with the Secretary of State. Key changes include the requirement for business entities to provide a valid email address and NAICS code in certain filings. Foreign LLCs must submit a certificate of existence with registration or name change documents. Amended annual reports are required if information changes close to the next report due date. The Secretary of State can mandate online filings, allowing paper only if online is impractical, and will use email for actions like administrative dissolution. Additionally, trade name laws are updated to standardize forms and limit validity to five years.
