Most company record books are a graveyard of PDFs in a folder no one opens until a bank, a buyer, or a court asks for them. We rebuilt ours around a single idea: a record book should tell you what’s missing.
A score, not a folder
The Document of Records knows the eleven documents a healthy U.S. LLC should have — formation docs, EIN letter, operating agreement, filed reports, governance records, and so on. It shows you a completeness score (say, 8 / 11) and, more usefully, which three are missing and how to get them.
Why a number works
A folder is passive; a score is a nudge. “8 / 11” creates a small, specific to-do — fill the gap — instead of a vague sense that your paperwork is “probably fine.” We watched completion rates climb the moment the gaps became visible and nameable.
Auto-collected where we can
Where ForeignFile files something for you — a federal package, a state report — the confirmation lands in the record book automatically. The score goes up without you uploading anything. The goal is a record book that’s complete because the system kept it that way, not because you remembered to.
