From Mississippi to Colorado, step by step

We prepare and file the registration
It lists us as your Colorado registered agent, next to your Mississippi name and formation date. No Mississippi paperwork holds up the Colorado filing. After approval, your Mississippi LLC is registered with Colorado.

Your Mississippi name and Colorado's rules

If another Colorado company uses the Mississippi name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Colorado's records for Mississippi's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Colorado and Mississippi

Questions Mississippi owners ask about Colorado

Does my Mississippi company need to register in Colorado?

Yes, once a Mississippi business operates there; Colorado law lists 12 activities that do not count on their own.

How much does the Colorado registration cost?

$299 at checkout, with nothing to pay Mississippi.

Do I need Mississippi's certificate of good standing?

No, Colorado takes the registration without it.

What are the yearly costs for Mississippi and Colorado?

$174 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, nothing to Mississippi and $25 to Colorado for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with Colorado?

Colorado can charge a Mississippi company up to $100 for each year or part of a year and a civil penalty of up to $5,000.

Does Colorado require a registered agent?

Yes: the Mississippi registered agent stays, and ours covers Colorado for year one.

Will Colorado accept my Mississippi name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Mississippi name at home.

Can I form a new Colorado LLC instead?

Yes, but Mississippi keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Colorado's Periodic Report ($25), and the original keeps Mississippi's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Colorado later?

Mississippi companies leave by filing a Statement of Foreign Entity Withdrawal ($10); until then, Colorado's report stays due alongside Mississippi's filings.
