If you’re considering incorporating in the United States, Delaware is an ideal choice thanks to its robust legal framework. Known for providing excellent liability protection, Delaware has become a popular choice for entrepreneurs worldwide. Whether you’re forming an LLC or Corporation, Delaware offers flexibility and security for businesses, regardless of where they conduct operations.
When you incorporate in Delaware, your business is considered a domestic company within the state, making it a foreign company in other states. To operate in states outside Delaware, you’ll need to undergo a process called foreign qualification. This involves obtaining permission to do business in another state.
Foreign Qualification in Maine
Like many states, Maine requires businesses to complete an application process, pay a state fee, and provide a Certificate of Good Standing from Delaware to qualify as a foreign entity. Your Delaware Registered Agent can assist with this process by preparing and submitting the necessary documents.
Delawareagency.com offers 24/7 assistance for foreign qualification with a $99/year Registered Agency fee. You don’t have to be a current Delaware client to receive help. We handle document preparation, obtain the Certificate of Good Standing from Delaware, and email everything directly to you.
Once registered in Maine, you’ll receive a Certificate of Authority, allowing you to conduct business legally with your Delaware company. Remember, to maintain good standing, you’ll need to pay Delaware Franchise Taxes, Registered Agent fees, and comply with Maine’s fees.
