Foreign LLC vs Domestic LLC

Foreign LLC vs Domestic LLC

Foreign qualification is when a legal entity conducts business in a state or jurisdiction other than the one it was originally formed within; often used for entities previously registered in another state and wishing to conduct business within a new state. A domestic LLC or Corporation is a business that is formed within its home state. If the entity has not yet been registered in another state, it can be domestic.
