Qualifications

Doing Business in Additional States

When a Limited Liability Company (LLC) does business outside the state in which it was originally formed, it also needs to register to do business in the new jurisdiction(s). This is typically referred to as a "qualification" and involves filing a Certificate of Authority with each additional state in which business will be conducted. LLC.com can assist customers in qualifying to do business in any or all U.S. states. We provide this service regardless of whether the LLC was originally formed through LLC.com.

State Registration Requirements

Registering to do business in an additional state usually involves providing proof of registration or good standing in the company's home state. This is because most states require evidence that an LLC is formed and/or is satisfying annual requirements in its home state before granting it authority to operate in another state.

Proof of formation is normally a certified copy of the company's Articles of Organization or Certificate of Formation. Proof of status is normally a Certificate of Good Standing. LLC.com knows the requirements for qualifying to do business in additional states and can obtain supporting documentation for this process.

Placing a Qualification Order

To begin the qualification process, a $50.00 deposit per state is required to provide a cost breakdown, research and paperwork for the filing. The deposit is nonrefundable, but it is deducted from our service fee of $125.00 per filing. For a qualification filing in Delaware or New York, the state permits us to conform (type) your signature on the documents and submit them directly to the state to avoid delay.
