How Missouri companies register with Connecticut

Order the Missouri certificate
The Certificate of Good Standing ($10) is ordered from Missouri separately; it is not part of our Connecticut order. Connecticut counts 90 days from the day Missouri issues it, so the order goes in shortly before filing.
We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Connecticut registered agent, with your Missouri name and formation date and the certificate attached. The Missouri certificate comes first; then the Connecticut filing goes in. Once Connecticut approves it, the Missouri company can do business there.

Common questions: Missouri to Connecticut

Does my Missouri company need to register in Connecticut?

Yes, once a Missouri business operates there; Connecticut registers it as a foreign LLC.

How much does the Connecticut registration cost?

$319 at checkout plus $10 to Missouri for the Certificate of Good Standing, $329 in all (checkout is $120 in state fees plus our $199).

Do I need Missouri's certificate of good standing?

Yes: Connecticut wants it ($10), no more than 90 days old at filing.

What are the yearly costs for Missouri and Connecticut?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Missouri yearly report and Connecticut's report ($80).

What if I don't register with Connecticut?

Connecticut can charge a Missouri company a penalty of $300 for each month.

Does Connecticut require a registered agent?

Yes: the Missouri registered agent stays, and ours covers Connecticut for year one.

Can I form a new Connecticut LLC instead?

Yes, but Missouri keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Connecticut's Annual Report ($80), and Missouri has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from Connecticut later?

Missouri companies leave by filing an Application for Certificate of Withdrawal (no state fee); until then, Connecticut's report stays due alongside Missouri's filings.
