Common Jurisdictional Queries

Q.What is a 'Decennial Report'?

Pennsylvania is unique in that it only requires a report every 10 years (in years ending in '1'). This is one of the lowest administrative burdens in the country. However, failing to file this once-a-decade report can lead to loss of the exclusive use of your business name.

Q.Why is Lehigh Valley an industrial powerhouse?

It is located within a one-day drive of 40% of the US population. This 'Last Mile' advantage makes it a top-tier target for e-commerce tenants like Amazon and FedEx. A PA LLC is the standard gatekeeper for these high-velocity assets.
