Common questions: Arkansas to New Hampshire

How much does it cost to register an Arkansas LLC in New Hampshire?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Arkansas.

Do I need Arkansas's certificate of good standing?

No, New Hampshire takes Form FLLC-1 without it.

$399 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $150 to Arkansas and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

An Arkansas company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

Yes, but Arkansas keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102), and the original keeps Arkansas's Annual LLC Franchise Tax Report.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Arkansas companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Cancellation of Registration of Foreign Limited Liability Company; until then, New Hampshire's report stays due alongside Arkansas's filings.
