Selection Criteria
Why Does the Formation State Matter?
A company’s original formation state can influence how it is maintained and what obligations apply.
Foreign Filing
Need to Operate in a Different State?
An aged shelf company does not always need to be originally formed in the state where you plan to conduct business. A corporation or LLC formed in one state may be registered in another state through a process commonly known as foreign qualification or foreign filing.
For example, you may purchase an aged Wyoming, Colorado, or New Mexico company and later register it to conduct business in California, Illinois, Texas, Florida, or another state.
The company’s original formation date remains unchanged. The foreign filing creates an additional state registration showing when the company became authorized to conduct business in that state.
