Mississippi Corporation Foreign Registration in Colorado

Colorado registers a corporation from Mississippi as a foreign corporation on an online registration (no form number), with $100 in state fees. Colorado asks nothing of Mississippi here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing / Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Business Program from your Mississippi records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Colorado registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date. No Mississippi paperwork holds up the Colorado filing. After approval, your Mississippi corporation is registered with Colorado.

Your Mississippi name and Colorado's rules

If Colorado's records show it taken, you can use an alternate name for the Mississippi company. We check your exact Mississippi name against Colorado's records before filing.

Common questions: Mississippi to Colorado

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Colorado?

Yes, once a Mississippi business operates there; Colorado registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Colorado calls it registration for Mississippi corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does it cost to register a Mississippi corporation in Colorado?

$299 at checkout, with nothing to pay Mississippi.

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

No, Colorado takes the registration without it.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Colorado?

$199 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Mississippi and $25 to Colorado for the yearly reports.

Does Colorado require a registered agent?

Yes: the Mississippi registered agent stays, and ours covers Colorado for year one.

Will Colorado accept my Mississippi name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Mississippi name at home.

Can I form a new Colorado corporation instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Colorado's Periodic Report ($25), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Colorado later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Statement of Foreign Entity Withdrawal; until then, Colorado's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
