How Kentucky companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Kentucky name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Kentucky first, so the New Hampshire filing can go in right away. Once New Hampshire approves it, the Kentucky company can do business there.

Will your Kentucky name work for New Hampshire?

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Kentucky one

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

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Kentucky

Each year your LLC files Kentucky's Annual Report ($15) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Kentucky plus New Hampshire comes to $264 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Common questions: Kentucky to New Hampshire

Does my Kentucky company need to register in New Hampshire?

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

How much does it cost to register a Kentucky LLC in New Hampshire?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Kentucky.

Do I need Kentucky's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Kentucky and New Hampshire?

$264 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $15 to Kentucky and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Kentucky 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 Kentucky's filings.
