Minnesota Annual Renewal is an annual requirement for all businesses registered in the state of Minnesota. It is designed to ensure that businesses are in compliance with state laws and regulations. The Minnesota Secretary of State’s office oversees the process, which must be completed before the end of each business’s fiscal year. There are three types of Minnesota Annual Renewal: Business Entity Renewal, Trade Name Renewal, and Nonprofit Corporation Renewal. Business Entity Renewal is required for all businesses, including corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships, and limited partnerships. Trade Name Renewal is required for businesses that have registered a fictitious name or assumed name. Nonprofit Corporation Renewal is required for all nonprofit organizations registered in the state of Minnesota. The Minnesota Annual Renewal process involves filing the required forms, documents, and fees with the Minnesota Secretary of State's office. Depending on the type of renewal, the documents may include a completed annual renewal form, a copy of the registered entity's most recent tax return, and the applicable filing fee. After the renewal is approved, the business will receive a Certificate of Renewal, which serves as proof of the company's current registration in Minnesota.
