The California Corporate Ownership Statement, or Form LLC-12, is a legal document required by the California Secretary of State to report the ownership of a limited liability company (LLC) in California. The form must be filed within 90 days of the LLC's formation or organization, or at any time during the LLC's existence when there is a change in the ownership of the LLC. The California Corporate Ownership Statement lists information about the LLC's name and address, the name and address of the LLC's agent for service of process, and the name(s) and address(BS) of the LLC's managing member(s). It also provides information about the LLC's capital structure, including the amount of the LLC's initial capital contribution, the number and type of membership units issued, and the amount of capital contributed by each member. There are two types of California Corporate Ownership Statement: the Initial Statement, which is filed when the LLC is formed, and the Statement of Information, which is filed annually. Both forms must be filed with the California Secretary of State and are available on the Secretary of State's website.
