TIME IS MONEY… SO SAVE BOTH BY FILING ONLINE! Online corporate filing is quick and easy (Carson City, NV – January 25, 2010) – Did you know you can save time by filing for your annual State Business License online with the Secretary of State’s office? Yes, you can file your annual list of officers and apply for or renew your State Business License online, at the same time, in less than half an hour, with NO extra costs. So why do it any other way? It’s not only quick to file online, it’s easy. Secretary of State Ross Miller’s online processing system is easy to navigate and guides you through every step. In fact, you really can’t make a mistake. The system will tell you if required information has been left out and direct you back to the page to be completed. If your business is a Title 7 entity, the system lets you know if it’s time for you to both file your annual list of officers and apply for or renew your business license. If you are a sole proprietor or partnership, you can apply for or renew a State Business License using the Non-Title 7 form. Once the transaction is complete, you can immediately print out your new or renewed state business license, from either the website or a link automatically emailed to non-title 7 businesses. There are just a few easy steps to follow to get your business done quickly and easily: •
