Who needs articles of organization (LLC), the initial report and the biennial report in Alaska?

Issued by Alaska Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing, Corporations Section, at step 1 of 6 in the opening sequence: set up the business.

Every kind of business in Alaska

The Alaska table lists this for every kind of business.

File online through the Division’s corporations portal. The articles name a registered agent with an Alaska street address and the NAICS code for the business. An LLC formed in an even year files its biennial report in even years, an odd year in odd years; a late report adds a penalty and two missed reports lead to involuntary dissolution.
