Starting a business is an exciting journey, but it often begins with a mountain of paperwork. Whether you’re forming an LLC or applying for a trademark, corporate filings are essential to getting your business off the ground legally. However, thousands of applications are rejected each year due to avoidable mistakes. In fact, according to recent statistics, up to 40% of business filings in the U.S. get rejected due to clerical errors, incorrect forms, or non-compliance with state-specific rules. Even more startling, up to 70% of first-time trademark applications face rejection from the USPTO.
Common Reasons for Corporate Filing Rejections
1. Unavailable or Conflicting Business Names
One of the most common reasons filings get denied is choosing a business name that’s already taken or too similar to an existing entity. Every state has unique rules about name availability, and skipping this step can cost you time and money.
2. Incorrect or Outdated Forms
States regularly update their filing requirements. Using an outdated version of a form or filling it out incorrectly is a guaranteed way to get your application returned or rejected.
3. Incomplete or Inaccurate Information
Missing essential details—like a registered agent, business purpose, or owner’s information—is a quick way to receive a rejection notice. Many states won’t process a form unless it’s 100% complete and accurate.
4. Improper Signatures
Each state has signature requirements, and failing to follow them precisely—such as forgetting to notarize or sign in the right spot—can derail your filing.
5. Incorrect Payment or Missing Fees
Submitting the wrong fee or forgetting to include additional charges for expedited services or certified copies is another frequent issue.
