Good to know

Hawaii's due date is the end of the calendar QUARTER of the registration date, not the anniversary month (rule in effect since January 1, 2003).
BREG posts a reminder news release at the start of each filing quarter; free email reminders via 'MyBusiness Notifications' on Hawaii Business Express.
BREG says it does not use any third-party company to collect or file annual reports - beware of solicitation letters.
