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 New Jersey.
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
New Jersey.
Managing employee payroll is vital to running a successful business. While many tasks are associated with payroll management and compliance, they’re all based on which employee payroll schedules you choose.
Not all companies operate on the same payroll schedule. While most companies pay their employees biweekly, that is not your only option as an employer. The best payroll schedule for your company depends on many factors, including but not limited to the size of your business.
Expanding your business into new territory should feel empowering. You know you’re truly growing your brand when you can branch your company into other states — but with that expansion comes a whole checklist of rules and regulations you have to follow.
If you’re a business with employees scattered across multiple states, keeping up with state compliance can feel like an impossible juggling act. That’s where a well-crafted, multi-state employee handbook can step in as your trusty guide.
Payroll might seem like a straightforward process for business owners: Calculate hours, apply pay rates, factor in deductions. However, behind the scenes, proper payroll management involves thorough recordkeeping. It’s what keeps your business compliance up to date and protected.
Think of those records as your shield against the dreaded IRS audit. Painstaking recordkeeping demonstrates your commitment to running a responsible business. Plus, federal laws (like the FLSA) and an assortment of state requirements dictate how long you need to hold on to specific payroll documents. Slip-ups here can lead to hefty penalties and headaches.
