How Kansas companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Kansas name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Kansas first, so the New Hampshire filing can go in right away. After approval, your Kansas LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Your Kansas name and New Hampshire's rules

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Kansas one

New Hampshire calls it a registered agent; Kansas says resident agent. New Hampshire papers come to us; Kansas's agent is unchanged.

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Kansas

Kansas wants the Information Report every two years ($90); New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100). Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Kansas to New Hampshire

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

The other way: New Hampshire into Kansas

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Kansas files Form FA with $115 in state fees; no New Hampshire certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Kansas to New Hampshire

Does my Kansas company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Kansas 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 Kansas.

Do I need Kansas's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Kansas and New Hampshire?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Kansas's report ($90, every two years) and New Hampshire's report ($100).

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the Kansas resident agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Kansas 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 Kansas's filings.
