From Minnesota 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 Minnesota name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Minnesota first, so the New Hampshire filing can go in right away. After approval, your Minnesota LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Your Minnesota name and New Hampshire's rules

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Minnesota one

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

Staying in good standing in Minnesota and New Hampshire

Each year your LLC files Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Minnesota plus New Hampshire comes to $249 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Minnesota to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Minnesota files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). After that come Minnesota's Annual Renewal (no fee) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Minnesota

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Minnesota files Minnesota's registration (no form number) with $205 in state fees; no New Hampshire certificate is needed. See that filing.

Common questions: Minnesota to New Hampshire

Does my Minnesota company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Minnesota 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 Minnesota.

Do I need Minnesota's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Minnesota and New Hampshire?

$249 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Minnesota and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Minnesota 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 Minnesota's filings.
