If you plan to clearly create a business presence in a state other than Nevada then you should adopt this service so that the Nevada Corporation or LLC will have the right to conduct business in your foreign state. This way you will be protected by Nevada law in the event a plaintiff tries to pierce the corporate veil, even if the suit is filed outside of Nevada.
This service meets all the necessary foreign state filing requirements including:
- Certificate of status in good standing" from the State of Nevada
- Professional Resident Agent (1yr service) in Foreign State
- Preparation and execution of filing documents
- Payment of Foreign State filing fees **
- UPS 2nd Day Shipping
In short we take care of the necessary paperwork and payment of fees to complete the filing in the most efficient way possible. Thereafter on an annual basis we will complete the annual foreign state requirements in order to keep your Corporation or LLC in good Legal Standing in the foreign state. You will be billed annually for the foreign state resident agent service and foreign state annual filing fees.
** Fees cover most states. Some states impose high filing fees (e.g.. Texas)- you will be informed if this is the case prior to your order being processed.
Important Note: If you do not intend to create a clear presence in another state you should consider the following: Many States take the position that when the President, Treasurer and Director of a Nevada Corporation or the Manager of a Nevada LLC (those public record offices) are residents of their State, then the Company is clearly being managed from that state and is therefore doing business in that state and should therefore complete a foreign filing and pay taxes there. In order to eliminate this eventuality, many of our clients opt to upgrade to the Nevada Privacy & Corporate Virtual Office Package.
If your corporation or LLC intends to conduct business under a name other than the legal "corporate" name, then it will be necessary to file a "DBA" or "Fictitious business name". The DBA is filed at the "county level" i.e. in Douglas County rather than with the State of Nevada.
