Common LLC Relocation Pitfalls
Moving an LLC takes more than a filing. It is a legal process that requires specific documents to be filed in a specific order under two different states’ laws. When that process is misunderstood, business owners fall into predictable traps that put the company at risk. Here are some of the most common mistakes we see.
✴
Dissolving the LLC unnecessarily
Many online formation companies recommend dissolving the LLC and starting over because they don’t support true domestication. This bad advice requires formal dissolution and creates more cost and hassle than doing the move correctly.
✴
Getting the filing sequence wrong
Relocation filings must be coordinated between both states. Filing in the wrong order can terminate the company’s legal existence before the new state recognizes it, creating gaps that are expensive to fix (if they can be fixed at all).
✴
Making improper representations to state agencies
State law requires a formal plan approving the move that complies with both states’ rules. There is no single universal form. Filing without the proper authorization, or certifying that it exists when it does not, can create serious legal exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions that we hear. Each of these is covered in more detail in our free analysis.
A real move changes the company’s legal home from the old state to the new state while keeping business continuity intact. Done right, the company ends up governed by the new state’s law with clean records and a clear paper trail.
You move an LLC to a new state (without starting over) 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 LLC continues as the same legal entity.
When one or both states do not allow domestication, the LLC can still be moved through a structured reorganization that achieves the same result.
The analysis tells you which path your two states actually allow before you risk filings.
Most business owners move their LLC because they have relocated and now operate from a different state.
When that happens, the law often requires the LLC 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 LLC 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.
