New Hampshire registers an LLC from Wisconsin as a foreign LLC on Form FLLC-1, with $102 in state fees. New Hampshire needs nothing from Wisconsin: no Certificate of Status.

From Wisconsin to New Hampshire, step by step

We prepare and file Form FLLC-1

Your Wisconsin name and New Hampshire's rules

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

Agents: New Hampshire and Wisconsin

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

Common questions: Wisconsin to New Hampshire

Does my Wisconsin company need to register in New Hampshire?

Yes, once a Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin.

Do I need Wisconsin's certificate of good standing?

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

What are the yearly costs for Wisconsin and New Hampshire?

$274 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $25 to Wisconsin and $100 to New Hampshire for the yearly reports.

What if I don't register with New Hampshire?

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

Does New Hampshire require a registered agent?

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

Can I form a new New Hampshire LLC instead?

Yes, but Wisconsin keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files New Hampshire's Annual Report ($102), and the original keeps Wisconsin's Annual Report (Form 5 / CORP5).

How do I withdraw from New Hampshire later?

Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin's filings.
