Arizona gotchas for lenders
- Arizona’s entity search is managed by the Corporation Commission, not the Secretary of State (Arizona doesn’t have an SOS for business filings).
- LLCs in Arizona file annual reports. Failure to file for 2+ years leads to administrative dissolution.
- Arizona distinguishes between ‘Inactive’ (voluntary dissolution) and ‘Revoked’ (administrative action).
