You need to qualify as a foreign corporation when doing substantial business in a state other than where you incorporated. This includes maintaining an office, hiring employees, holding board meetings, owning property, or conducting regular transactions. Each state has different thresholds for what constitutes 'doing business.'
Yes, you can qualify your corporation in as many states as needed. We can handle simultaneous filings in multiple states to help you expand quickly. Each state has its own requirements, fees, and processing times - we'll coordinate everything for you.
You'll typically need a Certificate of Good Standing from your home state, a copy of your Articles of Incorporation, and an Application for Authority in the new state. Some states require additional documents. We'll gather everything needed and handle the filing process.
Operating without proper qualification can result in penalties, fines, inability to sue in state courts, back taxes, and accumulated fees. It's crucial to qualify before conducting business. If you're already operating, we can help you come into compliance retroactively and minimize penalties.
