Compliance is complicated.
It doesn't have to be.

Why is it so hard to get clear answers to questions about compliance?

Let’s use entity compliance as an example. One day, you get a franchise tax bill from Delaware suggesting you owe $200,000. What do you do? If you’re most people, you experience a wave of stress, followed by a mini fire drill to figure out whether the notice is legitimate, and what you need to do next. 

State rules on these subjects are far from user-friendly, and there is no software to solve the problem. As a result, today you probably manage entity compliance manually, or with an expensive third party.

We built Discern to make things clearer.

Discern’s rules engine has codified each state’s rules – which it can compare to characteristics about your business to tell you whether your entities are compliant today. Even better, Discern continues to monitor your business in real time, and can automate the filings you need to stay in compliance.

How would it feel to have your entity management sorted?

"Discern took the guesswork out of entity compliance, and saved us so much time and money."
