FREE BUSINESS DOMESTICATION ANALYSIS
Find Out How to Move Your Business to a New State — Without the Legal Headaches
To move your business, you need to comply with two state’s laws at once. Get a side-by-side analysis of both states’ laws, tailored to your business, so you know your real legal options.
Moving Your Business Shouldn’t Be Confusing
But doing it right means navigating two conflicting sets of state laws at the same time. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, but the internet is full of half-truths and jargon that push business owners into canned solutions that could put their business at risk.
We cut through the noise. Our free analysis compares the both states’ laws and gives you a plain-English roadmap to:
- Move your business to the new state and cut ties with the old state
- Avoid the cost and hassle of double-registration in both states
- Protect yourself from cleanup costs, federal tax exposure, and loss of your business existence (it happens)
- Keep your EIN, bank accounts, and contracts in place (no need to start over)
- Complete the move with zero downtime or compliance risk
Each analysis is attorney-designed, delivered, and supported, and we’ll never upsell you things you don’t need.
Get Clarity in Under a Minute. No Strings Attached.
Same-day results for requests during business hours.
We value your privacy. We don’t share your information or sign you up for newsletters.

Make the Move — Without Losing Your Legal Standing
Relocating your business is more than an address change. If done wrong, it can dissolve your company, trigger unnecessary taxes, or create regulatory issues.
Our process gives you a clean, compliant path to move your business with attorney-grade precision.

Follow a Clear Plan
We give you a state-specific roadmap that shows exactly what to do and when. Both states’ laws included.
Check Eligibility
Before you risk anything, find out whether your business can move safely. We’ll tell you if both states allow statutory domestication—and what to do if they don’t.
Avoid Penalties and Hassles
One wrong move can dissolve your entity or create a tax nightmare. We protect you from hidden traps that can destroy continuity, trigger audits, or kill deals.
Preserve Continuity
Your EIN, contracts, bank accounts, licenses stay intact. We make sure your move doesn’t erase your business history or reset your legal identity.
Identify Filing Requirements
Moving a business isn’t just paperwork—it’s legal surgery. We map out every compliance step so you don’t miss a single requirement or trigger costly rejections.

You move a business to a new state in one of two ways: statutory domestication or legal reorganization. The correct approach depends on the laws of both states and the type of entity involved.
If both the old state and the new state allow domestication, that is usually the fastest, cleanest option because the business continues as the same legal entity.
When one or both states do not allow domestication, the business can still be moved through a structured reorganization that achieves the same result.
Most business owners move their business because they have relocated and now operate from a different state.
When that happens, the law often requires the business to register and comply in the new state while still maintaining the entity in the original state.
That means duplicate filings, extra fees, additional taxes, and higher compliance risk every year.
Moving the business eliminates the need to operate in two states and reduces long-term cost, complexity, and exposure.
No. Dissolving your LLC and starting over is almost never necessary. Starting over can trigger loss of your EIN, contracts, banking relationships, licenses, and operating history. A properly executed move keeps the business intact and avoids unnecessary disruption.
Warning: Many online formation companies suggest forming a new business and starting over. That is because they lack the technology and legal structure to handle domestication or reorganization correctly. There is a better way, and it preserves what you have already built.
