Montana LLC Foreign Registration in New Hampshire

New Hampshire registers an LLC from Montana as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $102 in state fees. New Hampshire asks nothing of Montana here, not even the Certificate of Existence. We file it with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division from your Montana records, then serve as your registered agent there for year one.

How Montana companies register with New Hampshire

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

Will your Montana name work for New Hampshire?

We check your exact Montana name against New Hampshire's records before filing.

Your New Hampshire agent and the Montana one

Montana and New Hampshire both call it a registered agent. Your current registered agent stays for Montana; ours takes New Hampshire's papers and notices.

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Montana

Each year your LLC files Montana's Annual Report ($20) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Montana plus New Hampshire comes to $269 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Montana to New Hampshire

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

The other way: New Hampshire into Montana

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Montana files Montana's registration (no form number) with $70 in state fees; no New Hampshire certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Montana owners ask about New Hampshire

Does my Montana company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Montana 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 Montana.

Do I need Montana's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Montana and New Hampshire?

$269 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $20 to Montana and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Montana 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 Montana's filings.
