How Ohio companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Ohio name and formation date. No Ohio paperwork holds up the New Hampshire filing. After approval, your Ohio LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Will your Ohio name work for New Hampshire?

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

Agents: New Hampshire and Ohio

New Hampshire calls it a registered agent; Ohio says statutory agent. Your current statutory agent stays for Ohio; ours takes New Hampshire's papers and notices.

Staying in good standing in Ohio and New Hampshire

Ohio has no annual report for LLCs; New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Ohio to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Ohio files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). See the corporation filing.

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Ohio files Form 617 with $99 in state fees; no New Hampshire certificate is needed. See that filing.

Questions Ohio owners ask about New Hampshire

Does my Ohio company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once an Ohio business operates there; New Hampshire does not count a one-off deal finished within 30 days.

How much does it cost to register an Ohio LLC in New Hampshire?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Ohio.

Do I need Ohio's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Ohio and New Hampshire?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), no Ohio yearly report and New Hampshire's report ($100).

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

An Ohio company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

Yes: the Ohio statutory agent stays, and ours covers New Hampshire for year one.

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

Yes, but Ohio keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102), and Ohio has no yearly report for the original.

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Ohio 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 Ohio's filings.
