How Virginia companies register with New Hampshire

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1
It lists us as your New Hampshire registered agent, next to your Virginia name and formation date. Nothing has to come from Virginia first, so the New Hampshire filing can go in right away. Once New Hampshire approves it, the Virginia company can do business there.

Your Virginia name and New Hampshire's rules

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

Your New Hampshire agent and the Virginia one

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

Each year your LLC files Virginia's Annual Registration Fee ($50) and New Hampshire's Annual Report ($100). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Virginia plus New Hampshire comes to $299 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

Questions Virginia owners ask about New Hampshire

Does my Virginia company need to register in New Hampshire?

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

How much does it cost to register a Virginia LLC in New Hampshire?

$301 at checkout, with nothing to pay Virginia.

Do I need Virginia's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Virginia and New Hampshire?

$299 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $50 to Virginia and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

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

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Virginia 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 Virginia's filings.
