How Texas companies register with New Hampshire

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

Will your Texas name work for New Hampshire?

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Texas one

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

Yearly filings: New Hampshire and Texas

Texas wants the Public Information Report + Franchise Tax Report every year; New Hampshire wants the Annual Report every year ($100). The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Texas to New Hampshire

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

Registering a New Hampshire company in Texas

Common questions: Texas to New Hampshire

Does my Texas company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Texas 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 Texas.

Do I need Texas's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Texas and New Hampshire?

Our registered agent renewal ($149 a year), Texas's report (fee set by the state) and New Hampshire's report ($100).

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Texas 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 Texas's filings.
