Has your company or organization been in business for 10 years?

In all years that end in “1” (2001, 2021, 2031, etc.) you must file a decennial report with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania stating that your company or organization continues to exist and is using its marks, e.g. logos.  Think of it […]
