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.
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.
HR compliance can be downright overwhelming. The same goes for employee turnover, fostering a healthy culture, and ensuring HR actually helps drive growth rather than impede it. Unfortunately, with so many organizations operating with HR blind spots, those feelings are often well-founded.
However, a comprehensive HR assessment illuminates these blind spots by evaluating everything from basic compliance to strategic initiatives. This thorough audit of tactical and strategic HR functions reviews initiatives, processes, and procedures to highlight strengths, pinpoint weaknesses, and provide a roadmap for improvement.
We’re very excited to introduce the Mosey sales tax registration beta!
Since we went GA earlier this year (can you believe it’s almost been a year??), startup founders, controllers, and finance teams have been asking us to help them with sales tax.
There are three critical parts of sales tax: registration, collection, and reporting—some providers will help with collection and/or reporting, but no sales tax provider wants to touch registration.
