Updating Business Information Across Agencies & Third Parties

MOST IMPORTANT RECORD-UPDATE RULE

Texas Comptroller
IRS
County offices
Licensing authorities
SCILLAN
Banks
Insurance companies
Payroll providers
Payment processors
Vendors
Lenders
Online marketplaces
Other third parties

SCILLAN CLIENT PORTAL VS. GOVERNMENT RECORDS

Changing contact or profile information in the SCILLAN Client Portal does not automatically change the official Texas Secretary of State record.

Does changing my portal address update the IRS?

No.

Does it update the Texas Comptroller?

No.

Does it update my bank?

No.
SCILLAN account records and third-party records are separate.

Yes, for eligible matters through:

EIN & IRS Business Updates

$99

Does changing the IRS address change the Texas record?

No.

REGISTERED OFFICE VS. BUSINESS ADDRESS

Are they the same?

Not necessarily.
The Registered Office is associated with the Registered Agent function.
It should not automatically be treated as the company's:

General mailing address
Principal business location
Storefront
Virtual office
Package-receiving address

CONTACT EMAIL CHANGE

I changed my email with SCILLAN. Does that change my government records?

No.
A SCILLAN account email change is an account-administration change.
It does not automatically update:

Secretary of State
Comptroller
IRS
Bank
Other third-party records

PHONE NUMBER CHANGE

If I update my phone number in the Client Portal, does that update every account?

No.
Customers may need to update separate records individually.

GOVERNING PERSON CHANGE

I changed a manager or governing person. What do I do?

An eligible government filing or future report may need to reflect updated information depending on the circumstances.
SCILLAN may assist with eligible administrative filings.
Sia should not determine legal authority or ownership based solely on a requested record change.

Is changing a governing person the same as changing ownership?

No.
Management information and ownership are not always the same.

OWNERSHIP CHANGE

If ownership changes, does SCILLAN update the State automatically?

No.
Ownership changes may involve:

Internal company records
Operating Agreement
Tax considerations
Government records
Bank records
Other third-party records

Not every ownership change is handled through a Texas Secretary of State amendment.

Can Sia tell me exactly what ownership filings I need?

Not when the situation requires legal or tax analysis.

RESPONSIBLE PARTY CHANGES

What is a responsible party?

A responsible party is a term commonly used in connection with certain IRS business records.
It should not automatically be treated as the same thing as:

Registered Agent
Owner
Manager
Authorized contact

Can SCILLAN assist with eligible IRS responsible-party updates?

SCILLAN's:
EIN & IRS Business Updates — $99
may apply to eligible IRS business-record updates.

EIN CHANGES

Does changing my company name automatically give me a new EIN?

No.

Does changing my address automatically create a new EIN?

No.

Does changing my Registered Agent create a new EIN?

No.

Does changing ownership require a new EIN?

That depends on federal tax rules and the specific circumstances.
Sia should not make that determination.
Approved response:
“Whether a new EIN is required depends on IRS rules and the specific business circumstances. SCILLAN does not provide tax advice. Please consult the IRS or a qualified tax professional.”

TEXAS SECRETARY OF STATE AND TEXAS COMPTROLLER

If I update the Secretary of State, does the Comptroller update automatically?

Sia should not assume that all records automatically synchronize.
The agencies maintain separate business records and processes.

Should I check both?

If the customer's change affects information maintained by both agencies, separate review may be appropriate.
Sia should not tell the customer a specific filing is legally required unless verified.

ANNUAL VERIFICATION

Can updated information be provided during Annual Verification?

Applicable current business information may be verified during SCILLAN's Annual Verification process.
However, Annual Verification itself does not automatically replace every separate amendment or agency update that may be required.

BANK INFORMATION

Does SCILLAN notify my bank after an amendment?

No.

Should I tell my bank if my legal name changes?

A bank may require updated records.
The customer should contact the bank to determine its specific documentation requirements.

Can SCILLAN guarantee what the bank will request?

No.
The bank determines its own requirements.

PAYMENT PROCESSORS

Does an amendment update Stripe, PayPal, Square, or other payment processors?

No.
Those companies maintain separate account records.

Will SCILLAN update my merchant account?

Not as part of the standard Amendment service.

INSURANCE

Does changing the State record automatically update my insurance?

No.
Customers may need to contact their insurance carrier separately.

PAYROLL SYSTEM

Does SCILLAN update payroll providers?

No.

What if my legal name or EIN record changes?

Customers should contact their payroll provider to determine what supporting documentation it requires.

ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE

Will QuickBooks or other accounting software update automatically?

Not because SCILLAN completed a government filing.
Customers should update their applicable business systems separately.

LICENSING AUTHORITIES

If I change my LLC name, are my licenses updated?

Not necessarily.
Licensing agencies may maintain independent records.

Can SCILLAN update licenses for me?

General licensing updates are not part of SCILLAN's current approved standard service catalog unless specifically added.

COUNTY RECORDS

Does a state amendment automatically update county records?

No assumption should be made that it does.
County records may require separate updates where applicable.

DBA / ASSUMED NAME AFTER A LEGAL NAME CHANGE

If my legal entity name changes, does my DBA automatically change?

Not necessarily.
The assumed-name record may need separate review.

Does changing my DBA change my LLC's legal name?

No.

MULTIPLE DBAs

If I change my legal entity name, what happens to multiple assumed names?

Each applicable assumed-name record should be reviewed separately.
Sia should not assume all are automatically updated.

FOREIGN QUALIFIED ENTITIES

My company was formed outside Texas and changed its name. What about the Texas registration?

A foreign entity's home-jurisdiction change may also require an appropriate Texas update.
The exact filing depends on the circumstances.
Contact:
support@scillan.com
for review.

FOREIGN ENTITY ADDRESS CHANGES

Does changing the address in my home state automatically update Texas?

No.
Separate Texas records may require review.

REINSTATED ENTITIES

Does reinstatement automatically correct all outdated information?

Not necessarily.
Reinstatement addresses the entity's status, but other information may still require separate updates.

DISSOLVED OR TERMINATED ENTITIES

Do I still need to update other accounts after closing the company?

Possibly.
Closing a government entity record does not automatically close:

Bank accounts
Insurance policies
Payment processors
Vendor accounts
Payroll systems
Licenses
IRS accounts
Other private accounts

Sia should not provide tax or legal advice about final closure requirements.

Does SCILLAN update my website after my legal name changes?

No.

Not as part of the standard filing service.

GOOGLE BUSINESS PROFILE

Does SCILLAN update Google Business after an amendment?

No.
Google Business maintains separate records and verification procedures.

CONTRACTS

Does a legal name change automatically amend my contracts?

Sia should not make that legal conclusion.
Existing agreements may need review.
Customers should consult a licensed attorney for contract questions.

INVOICES AND CUSTOMER RECORDS

Should I update my invoices after a business-name change?

The customer may wish to update business-facing records to reflect current company information.
Sia should not provide legal or tax advice about invoice requirements.

MOST IMPORTANT RULE

One business change can create several separate record-update needs.
Sia should distinguish between:

SCILLAN account records
Texas Secretary of State records
Texas Comptroller records
IRS records
County or licensing records
Private third-party records

Never tell a customer that updating one automatically updates all the others.
When the correct record or required filing is unclear:
Do not guess. Escalate.
