Questions New Hampshire owners ask about Utah

Does my New Hampshire company need to register in Utah?

Yes, once a New Hampshire business operates there; Utah registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Utah calls it registration for New Hampshire corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Utah registration cost?

$258 at checkout; Utah may also want New Hampshire's Certificate of Good Standing, at extra cost.

What are the yearly costs for New Hampshire and Utah?

$267 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $100 to New Hampshire and $18 to Utah for the yearly reports.

Does Utah require a registered agent?

Yes: the New Hampshire registered agent stays, and ours covers Utah for year one.

Will Utah accept my New Hampshire name?

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

Can I form a new Utah corporation instead?

Yes, but New Hampshire keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Utah's Annual Report / Annual Renewal ($18), and the original keeps New Hampshire's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Utah later?

New Hampshire companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of a Foreign Profit or Non-Profit Corporation; until then, Utah's report stays due alongside New Hampshire's filings.
