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 Louisiana.
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
Louisiana.
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.
In today’s dynamic business environment, one of the critical aspects founders, HR heads, and financial officers need to stay on top of is federal tax classification. This classification not only determines how your business will operate, but also how it will be taxed.
As businesses expand and take on employees from different states or even countries, understanding this classification becomes paramount to ensure compliance. With the landscape of remote work growing, businesses, especially those operating in the U.S., must stay informed to maintain efficiency and ensure they’re meeting all regulatory requirements.
As of 2024, five US states require employers to provide short-term disability insurance to workers: California, Hawaii, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Eligibility requirements, employer contributions rates, and authorized providers vary by state—but in general, businesses with at least one non-owner employee who performs work in one of these states need to obtain coverage to maintain compliance with state law.
