How Tennessee companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Tennessee name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Tennessee first, so the New Hampshire filing can go in right away. After approval, your Tennessee LLC is registered with New Hampshire.

Will your Tennessee name work for New Hampshire?

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Tennessee one

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

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Tennessee

Each year your LLC files Tennessee's Annual Report ($300) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Tennessee plus New Hampshire comes to $549 a year. Both states' filings stay current side by side.

LLC or corporation, Tennessee to New Hampshire

A corporation formed in Tennessee files Form 40 with New Hampshire ($102 in state fees, the same). After that come Tennessee's Annual Report ($20) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). See the corporation filing.

The other way: New Hampshire into Tennessee

An LLC formed in New Hampshire that registers with Tennessee files Form SS-4233 with $300 in state fees, plus the Certificate of Good Standing ($5) dated within 60 days. See that filing.

Questions Tennessee owners ask about New Hampshire

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Tennessee.

Do I need Tennessee's certificate of good standing?

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

$549 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $300 to Tennessee and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Tennessee 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 Tennessee's filings.
