There may be additional things you will need to do to maintain your
"good standing" in the state including having a registered agent and
other kinds of taxes.
Maintaining a Registered Agent
Most states require that you have a registered agent that can
receive important mail from the Secretary of State should they need
to contact you. There are many commercial options available or you
can use Mosey to be your registered agent and keep your information
private in District of Columbia.
Other Taxes
In addition to maintaining a registered agent, maintaining your good
standing can include additional taxes. This can include franchise
tax, sales tax, or other state taxes. You can use Mosey to identify
these additional requirements to maintain good standing in

Running a business across multiple states can be challenging. One important responsibility is to appoint a registered agent for each state where your company operates.
A registered agent is a person or company that receives legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of your business. Your agent is responsible for important or sensitive documents like tax forms, lawsuits, and government notices.
Maintaining compliance can require some juggling, especially when managing multiple agents and keeping track of important paperwork. That’s where hiring a national registered agent service comes into play.
