New York Foreign Qualification of a CorporationHow do you Qualify your Foreign Corporation?
First, you should be aware that when you initially incorporated your business, the State in which you filed is the only State in which your corporation is authorized to transact business. All other States will regard your business as a "foreign corporation" and may require special authorization. Therefore, if you want to maintain your principal offices in the State of incorporation, but plan to expand your business presence beyond that State, your corporation may find it necessary to "Qualify." As such, your corporation will be required to file again with each State where it plans on transacting business. In addition, you will be required to maintain a registered agent in every state where you will be transacting business.
It is not necessary for you to have a complete knowledge of the governing laws, rules, policies and/or restrictions relating to each State’s requirements for qualification. Spiegel & Utrera will work with you to make sure your expansion plans move forward expeditiously and your business grows where it needs to grow.
So, whatever your specific goals are, we can assist you in accomplishing them. Contact the Spiegel & Utrera office nearest you to get started doing business in the state of your choice today!
