New Hampshire
Certificate of Formation
To form an LLC in New Hampshire, you must file a Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State. This document requires details such as your business name, registered agent, and management structure. The state filing fee is $100, though an additional $2 convenience fee applies for online submissions via the NH QuickStart portal. Once approved, your entity is officially registered to conduct business.
To maintain good standing, all New Hampshire LLCs must file an annual report each year between January 1 and April 1. This report updates the state with current business information and requires a $100 filing fee. Failure to file by the deadline results in a $50 late penalty and puts the LLC at risk of administrative dissolution. Online filing through QuickStart is the most efficient method for compliance.
