Avoid the LLC Relocation Mistakes That Cost Real Money
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. Your free analysis flags the exact traps your two states create, then gives you a safe, step-by-step plan so you keep continuity and finish the move cleanly.

Accidentally dissolving your LLC

✴
Breaking continuity through the wrong filing order
The analysis maps the correct sequence between both states so your LLC does not fall into a gap where neither state recognizes it.
✴
Creating legal exposure with the wrong paperwork or certifications
The analysis tells you what authorizations and plan terms your two states require so you do not file unsupported documents or make improper representations to state agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions that we hear. Each of these is covered in more detail in our free analysis.
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.
