Foreign business registration in Ohio

For $100 plus the state's $99 fee, we register your out-of-state LLC (Form 617) or corporation (Form 530A) with the Ohio Secretary of State. You need an Ohio statutory agent on the filing, and we can be that agent for $49 a year.

What's included

  • A check that your name is available in Ohio.
  • The registration prepared and filed.
  • Help with what to do if the name is taken.
  • Filed documents delivered in your portal.

What you provide

  • Exact entity name and home state.
  • Formation date.
  • For corporations, a home-state certificate of good standing. Order it before you file, since it must be recent.

Is registration required?

It depends on what you do here. This guide lays out the general picture. Ask your attorney if your situation is unclear.

Questions

How do I withdraw later?

A withdrawal or surrender filing ends the registration. We can help with that through our dissolution service.
