How New Hampshire companies register with Georgia

We prepare and file Form CD 241
It lists us as your Georgia registered agent, next to your New Hampshire name and formation date. Nothing has to come from New Hampshire first, so the Georgia filing can go in right away. Once Georgia approves it, the New Hampshire company can do business there.

Will your New Hampshire name work for Georgia?

Georgia can hold a name for 30 days for $25 before you file.

Your Georgia agent and the New Hampshire one

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

Yearly filings: Georgia and New Hampshire

Each year your LLC files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102) and Georgia's Annual Registration ($60). With our $149 registered agent renewal, New Hampshire plus Georgia comes to $311 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.
