HOW DO YOU BRING AN ARKANSAS LLC INTO GOOD STANDING

An Arkansas LLC is generally brought back into good standing by paying any past-due Arkansas franchise tax reports and related penalties, since the state’s good-standing status depends on those filings and payments being current.

What to do

1. Check the LLC’s status with the Arkansas Secretary of State.
2. File every missing franchise tax report.
3. Pay all tax, interest, and late fees owed.
4. Confirm the LLC’s records now show current compliance.
5. Request a Certificate of Good Standing if you need proof for a bank, lender, or filing.

Important details

• Arkansas good standing means the business has met state filing and payment requirements, including annual reports and taxes.

• If franchise tax filings were missed, the state may charge a $25 late fee plus 10% interest on the amount due, with interest continuing to accrue subject to the stated cap.

• Arkansas allows a good standing certificate to be printed online for qualifying entities, and the certificate is an official state document.

Practical note

If the LLC was revoked for nonpayment, the fastest path is usually to catch up on all overdue franchise tax obligations, then verify the status update in the state records.

What the certificate shows

A Certificate of Good Standing confirms the entity has met the state’s requirements, including required filings and any owed fees or taxes that affect standing.
