Questions Louisiana owners ask about New Hampshire

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Louisiana.

Do I need Louisiana's certificate of good standing?

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

$289 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $40 to Louisiana and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Louisiana 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 Louisiana's filings.
