When is a Foreign Qualification required
If your company is operating in a state different from its state of formation, the state where the business transactions occur may mandate the qualification of your C Corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC) within that state. This involves filing a Certificate of Authority (also known as a Statement & Designation by a Foreign Corporation) with the Secretary of State’s office in that specific state.
Advantages of foreign qualifying a Corporation or LLC include:
Allows formation outside the state of where the business is physically located.
Enables a company to conduct business in multiple states.
Permits a company to open a bank account in a state where it’s doing business.
How to Choose a State to File in
Incorporating in Delaware or Nevada
Delaware
Delaware is often chosen, especially by larger companies, because it has the most developed and flexible corporate statutes in the country and is considered pro-business.
Nevada
Nevada has also become popular because of its lack of state corporate income tax, franchise tax, and personal income tax. It also has relatively low fees.
Incorporate in Home State
If you have a small business and are going to be conducting a substantial amount of your business in your home state, it will likely be beneficial to incorporate in that state.
If you incorporate out-of-state, such as in Delaware or in Nevada, but do much of your business in your home state, you will have to make a filing to “qualify to do business” in the state if there is a substantial ongoing business or physical presence in that state. You will then be subject to the same fees, taxes, and regulations as if you had incorporated there in the first place, and you will have paid filing fees (and, perhaps franchise taxes) to more than one state.
For example, If you have a small business and are going to be conducting a substantial amount of your business in California, it will likely be beneficial to incorporate in the state of California. However, if you incorporate out-of-state, such as in Delaware or in Nevada, but do much of your business in California, you will have to make a filing to “qualify to do business” in the state of California if there is a substantial ongoing business or physical presence in the state of California. You will then be subject to the same fees, taxes and regulations as if you had incorporated in California in the first place, and you will have paid state filing fees (and, perhaps franchise taxes) not only in the state of California but also to the state of Delaware or Nevada as well.
