Common questions: Connecticut to New Hampshire

Does my Connecticut company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Connecticut business operates there; New Hampshire does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

How much does the New Hampshire registration cost?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Connecticut.

Do I need Connecticut's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Connecticut and New Hampshire?

$329 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $80 to Connecticut and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

A Connecticut company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Connecticut 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 Connecticut's filings.
