An LLC formed in Florida that wants to do business in New Hampshire files Form FLLC-1, with $102 in state fees. New Hampshire asks nothing of Florida here, not even the Certificate of Status.

From Florida to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Florida name and formation date. No Florida paperwork holds up the New Hampshire filing. After approval, your Florida LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Your Florida name and New Hampshire's rules

We search New Hampshire's records for Florida's name on file before anything is filed.

Your New Hampshire agent and the Florida one

Florida and New Hampshire both call it a registered agent. New Hampshire papers come to us; Florida's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Florida

Each year your LLC files Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Florida plus New Hampshire comes to $387.75 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Florida to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Florida files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($150) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Florida

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Florida files Form CR2E027 with $125 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5) dated within 90 days. See that filing.

Common questions: Florida to New Hampshire

Does my Florida company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Florida 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 Florida.

Do I need Florida's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Florida and New Hampshire?

$387.75 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $138.75 to Florida and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Florida 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 Florida's filings.
