Registering Your Company as Foreign Entity in Maine

If your company is registered outside of Maine it is required to obtain a certificate of authority before transacting business in the state.

This process is called "Foreign Qualification", and it involves filing Application for Authority to do Business with the Maine Secretary of State.

To approve foreign qualification application Maine Secretary of State requires certificate of good standing or its equivalent from the home state. The certificate must be current within 90 days. Keep in mind, foreign entity is required to appoint and maintain a registered agent in Maine on file at all times in order to be in good standing.

The filing process with Maine Secretary of State could take about 2-3 business weeks, with expedited option of 1 business day (plus additional time for mailing) available for extra fee. Applicants should also allow additional time for obtaining the certificate of good standing from their home state.

Thanks guys, you did a great job helping me to open my photography business, I really didn't know where to start where to go - you did it all for me. How cool is that? It was an easy and clear process of creating a request to open a company, every step was described, so I didn't have to google each term. The price is good, the service is excellent. I really recommend everyone to let myusacorporation.com open a business for them. I didn't spend time on surfing the net finding the right form to fill and send somewhere. You did it for me, while I was doing things I love - taking pictures. More than that, you have so much valuable information on your site about everything I need for my business, like virtual phone number, business cards etc. I don't need to do any research - it's all there: comparison of a leading companies, reviews, pros and cons. Really helpful and saves tons of time.
