No, you need a registered agent in order to incorporate your business. Missing filing deadlines or failing to update registered agent information could lead to fines, increased liability, or even the loss of your business license.
Businesses that are incorporated in one state must file a foreign qualification in order to operate in another state. The only alternative to foreign qualification is to incorporate a separate business in each state.
States generally require foreign qualification when an out-of-state entity conducts business in their jurisdiction. The legal definition of conducting business varies by state and often covers a broad spectrum of activities. Common reasons why businesses foreign qualify include:
- Hiring an employee who is a resident of a state other than the state of incorporation.
- Purchasing property or a building.
- Opening a new office or other facility.
- Offering services, selling products, or bidding for a contract.
- Applying for a professional license, as licensing agencies generally require foreign qualification.
