Possible methods include foreign qualification, statutory domestication or conversion, forming a new entity and restructuring, or other state-authorized procedures. Available options depend on both states and the entity type. Swyft Filings only assists with foreign qualifications.

Foreign qualification does not mean the business is foreign to the United States. In this context, it generally means an entity formed in one state is registering for authority to conduct business in a different state. The business normally keeps its original formation state while taking on additional filing, registered agent, tax, and compliance obligations in the new state.
