$304 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $55 to South Dakota and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

A South Dakota company cannot sue in court there until it registers.

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

South Dakota 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 South Dakota's filings.
