ABOUT
Goodstand is compliance infrastructure for international founders who run US and UK companies. We watch your entities year-round, catch what registries quietly break, and file what needs filing — so your company never falls out of good standing while you're building everything else.
WHY WE EXIST
International founders register US LLCs and UK LTDs to access banking, customers, and legal predictability in those markets. What they don't get on day one is the part that arrives later: a US annual report, a BOI update after an ownership change, a Form 5472 due April 15, a UK confirmation statement, a PSC change at Companies House — and certified mail that no one opens.
By the time the founder finds out their entity is in delinquent or strike-off risk, it's usually because a payout was blocked, a bank closed an account, or a registry has already moved them to forfeited. The fix at that point is reinstatement — slow, expensive, and avoidable.
Goodstand exists for the years after formation. We monitor every entity-level signal that matters across US and UK jurisdictions, surface what the founder needs to act on, and file the routine work ourselves when they want us to.
WHAT WE DO
We watch US state registries, UK Companies House, the FinCEN BOI database, and your registered agent mailbox. When status changes or deadlines approach, you know first.
US: annual reports, BOI updates, Form 5472, reinstatements, dissolutions. UK: confirmation statements, PSC updates, strike-off recovery. Prepared, reviewed, submitted, and archived — with government fees passed through at cost.
Formation documents, EIN letters, ownership records, filing receipts. Encrypted, versioned, and accessible to anyone you choose — your accountant, your investor, your future self.
PRINCIPLES
01
If a filing is unnecessary in your situation, we'll say so. We make money from monitoring and from work authorities actually require — US states, IRS, Companies House, HMRC where applicable — not from upselling forms you don't need.
02
Monitoring, alerts, document storage, and form prep run on our platform. Our in-house compliance team handles routine execution; external specialists are engaged only when a jurisdiction-specific edge case requires it.
03
We don't give legal advice. We track deadlines, prepare routine filings, and tell you plainly when something needs licensed counsel. We maintain a referral network for the rare cases that do.
04
We never sell, share, or train any model on your documents. You can export everything and close your account in two clicks. We retain only what applicable US and UK law requires us to keep.

TO BE CLEAR
NOT A LAW FIRM.
We don't provide legal advice or represent clients in proceedings. For legal questions specific to your entity, we refer you to licensed attorneys in our network when needed.
NOT A CPA PRACTICE.
We don't prepare personal tax returns or perform audits. Our team handles entity-level compliance filings; complex personal tax planning goes to specialist accountants when required.
NOT A FORMATION SERVICE.
We don't register new companies. We pick up after formation and stay with you for the years that follow. If you don't have a US or UK entity yet, we'll point you to a formation provider we trust.
NOT A REGISTERED AGENT.
We work with your existing registered agent and surface their mail to you. We don't replace them — though if you need one, we'll introduce you.
“Compliance should be the quietest part of running a company. Boring, automatic, and invisible until the day it matters.”
