Secretary of State warns Georgia’s corporate entities to lookout for misleading mailing

Georgia Secretary of State has posted a warning on their website that the office has received complaints about misleading mailing Georgia Corporate Headquarters is using to solicit business from Georgia corporations. According to this warning, the firm offers to complete corporate minutes on behalf of Georgia corporations, which includes Annual Minutes Disclosure Statement for a fee.

The implication from this mailer is that Georgia corporations are required to file corporate minutes with the Secretary of State, which is not the case. In addition, this firm Georgia Corporate Headquarters is not registered in Georgia to do business in this state. Also, the manner in which the solicitations are presented is causing confusion. The important point to remember, however, is that Georgia corporations are not required to file their minutes or do business with Georgia Corporate Headquarters.

If you have any questions, please call the Corporations Division Call Center at 404-656-2817.
