What StandKeep is not
Not a law firm
No lawyers here, and no attorney–client relationship.
Not a filing service
We don’t file anything for you. You file on the official site; we link you there.
Not advice
We show what the official rules say. A lawyer or CPA can tell you what they mean for you.
Why you can trust the numbers
Every number links to its official source, with the date we read it.
We read each rule on the official page, keep the exact wording, and show you the date we read it.
