PrintSEC Form 10-K is the annual report that most public reporting companies file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Form 10-K provides a comprehensive overview of the registrant's business. Some companies choose to send their Form 10-K to their shareholders instead of sending a separate annual report.
The date by which you must file your 10-K form depends on the size of your business and other factors. Generally, larger businesses must file within 75 days, while smaller public firms must file within 90 days. For more information, see the SEC’s 10-K information page.
Reporting companies must give their shareholders, upon request, a copy of the Form 10-K. Companies subject to the shorter reporting deadlines also must disclose in their Form 10-K, whether they make their periodic and current reports available, free of charge, on their websites.
