Colorado LLC Foreign Registration in Georgia

Georgia registers an LLC from Colorado as a foreign LLC on Form CD 241, with $235 in state fees. Georgia asks nothing of Colorado here, not even the Certificate of Good Standing. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporations Division from your Colorado records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

From Colorado to Georgia, step by step

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It lists us as your Georgia registered agent, next to your Colorado name and formation date. No Colorado paperwork holds up the Georgia filing. After approval, your Colorado LLC is registered with Georgia.

Your Colorado name and Georgia's rules

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Your Georgia agent and the Colorado one

Colorado and Georgia both call it a registered agent. Georgia papers come to us; Colorado's agent is unchanged.

Questions Colorado owners ask about Georgia

Does my Colorado company need to register in Georgia?

How much does it cost to register a Colorado LLC in Georgia?

$434 at checkout, with nothing to pay Colorado.

Do I need Colorado's certificate of good standing?

No, Georgia takes Form CD 241 without it.

Georgia's online processing takes about 7 business days; nothing comes from Colorado first. Paid expedite: 2-business-day $120, same-day $275.

$234 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Colorado and $60 to Georgia for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Georgia?

A Colorado company cannot sue in court there until it registers, and Georgia can add a penalty of $500.

Does Georgia require a registered agent?

Yes: the Colorado registered agent stays, and ours covers Georgia for year one, with a street address there.

Can I form a new Georgia LLC instead?

Yes, but Colorado keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Georgia's Annual Registration ($60), and the original keeps Colorado's Periodic Report.

How do I withdraw from Georgia later?

Colorado companies leave by filing an Application for Withdrawal of Certificate of Authority; until then, Georgia's report stays due alongside Colorado's filings.
