Foreign Qualification - If your company expects to transact business outside your
state of formation, your company may be required to qualify as a "foreign
corporation" or "foreign LLC". IncSmart.biz can file the necessary paperwork to
qualify your business as a foreign corporation or LLC in any of the 50 states.
A corporation or LLC is considered to be domestic only in the state where it was
formed. In all other states, your company is regarded as a foreign corporation or
LLC. To qualify your company to transact business in another state, you must
register for a Certificate of Authority to transact business in that state. The
consequences of not qualifying in a foreign state in which your company transacts
business may include loss of access to that state's courts and potential fines.
Additionally, corporations and LLCs are subject to taxes and annual report fees in
both the state of formation (also called their domestic state) and any states where
the corporation or LLC is qualified as a foreign corporation or LLC. Additionally,
most states require corporations and LLCs to have a registered agent within each
state where the company is qualified. This agent must be available to receive
important communications from the state and others on behalf of the company.
