What else do I need to know?
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 Indiana.
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
Indiana.
An equal opportunity employer (EEO) makes decisions about hiring, promotions, and other employment issues based solely on a person’s qualifications. They pledge not to discriminate based on race, gender, religion, age, disability, nationality, sexual orientation, gender identity, and other protected factors.
Understanding EEO laws is essential for any business because it sets the standard for a fair, ethical, and inclusive workplace. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the federal agency responsible for enforcing these laws, ensuring everyone can succeed based on merit.
Expanding into Texas means understanding the state’s unique approach to workplace breaks: there aren’t any requirements for adult employees. While many other states mandate specific meal and rest periods, Texas gives employers complete discretion over break policies, creating both opportunities and compliance challenges.
This freedom isn’t as simple as it appears. Federal laws still apply, minor employees have special protections, and voluntary break policies must follow specific rules to avoid wage violations. So, navigating Texas’s flexible framework while maintaining federal compliance ensures your policies work for both business operations and employee satisfaction.
Consider the following scenario: You’re the founder of a new startup, which you incorporated in Delaware, but you live in California. You need to register your company as a foreign entity to do business there. But before you can register in California, you’ll need to obtain a Certificate of Good Standing from your incorporated state of Delaware.
Essentially, a Certificate of Good Standing validates the legitimacy of your business. Business owners might use a Certificate to register to do business in another state, apply for a business loan or insurance, seek financing from investors, or lease commercial space.
