SEC filings
Form 8-K is the current report companies file when a material event happens between periodic reports: a financing, an officer change, earnings results, a material agreement, or another Item under the form.
TakePublic drafts the 8-K in the workspace, routes it straight to your securities attorney (no auditor detour), and files it to EDGAR. Nothing files without that attorney's sign-off on the exact document.
Form 8-K is due four business days after the trigger event. The clock uses business days, and if the computed due date falls on a weekend or SEC holiday it rolls forward to the next business day. Deadlines run on Eastern Time (ET).
| Clock | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Trigger event date | 4 business days after the event |
Business-day clock; weekend and SEC holiday due dates roll to the next business day. All deadlines ET.
Common Form 8-K Items cover these events.
Which Item applies to a specific fact pattern is a legal judgment for your securities counsel. TakePublic is not a law firm and does not give that advice.
Create an 8-K from the Filings page, choose the Items, and draft the disclosure in the workspace. The compliance calendar and alert ladder keep the four-business-day clock visible to the team.
The 8-K skips auditor review. Forms without audited financials move from internal review straight to counsel review.
Your securities attorney reviews and signs off, bound to the SHA-256 hash of the full document. Any edit after sign-off forces a re-review.
After sign-off, submit to EDGAR through TakePublic or export the filing package to your own EDGAR agent.

Material events listed in the Form 8-K Items: financings, acquisitions, earnings results, officer or director changes, material agreements, and other events the company treats as material. Your securities counsel decides which Item fits a given fact pattern.
No. TakePublic routes the 8-K from internal review to counsel review. There is no mandatory auditor detour for current reports.
Your securities attorney signs off on the exact document hash before anything can submit to EDGAR. TakePublic is not a law firm.
