To put it simply, it is another name for a certificate of good standing. It is often referred to as a\u00a0 certificate of authorization, letter of good standing, and business certificate of good standing. However, it is most commonly referred to as a certificate of good standing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Companies formed in the state and those\u00a0 formed in another state but registered as a foreign entity are both entitled to a certificate of good standing<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A certificate of good standing comes with an expiration date and expires in the following situations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a company is due to get its registration renewed\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a company\u2019s taxes or other state fees are due\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An important point to remember is that a company is not required to have a certificate of good standing to legally conduct business activities in a state. Therefore, it can do so without being issued this certificate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A company requires a certificate of good standing only under certain circumstances which are explained in the next section.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reasons to Get a Certificate of Good Standing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned earlier, a company doesn&#8217;t need to have a certificate of good standing.

Hence, you can continue to conduct business activities without impediments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if your company is organized as a corporation or a limited liability company, then you may need to apply for one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requirements for a certificate of good standing vary with the state your company is established in. Some business entities such as limited partnerships limited liability limited partnerships and limited liability partnerships may or may not require a business certificate of good standing depending on the state\u2019s regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Get a Certificate of Good Standing?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The process of getting a letter of good standing is easy. Although every state has distinct requirements and protocols, most states generally take up to a week to issue the certificate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You just have to go through a few steps to obtain a certificate of good standing for your company.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check if your business is required to register with your state<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case you\u2019re not sure whether your business entity needs to be registered or not, you can always check in with your state\u2019s filing agency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure your business complies with state regulations\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A business certificate of good standing will only be issued if your company has fulfilled all state requirements. These may include paying all dues and taxes, filing all necessary documents including annual reports, and legal authorization to conduct business activities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request your state\u2019s filing agency to issue a certificate of good standing\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These certificates are normally issued by the Secretary of State but in some cases, the filing agency can also issue one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have the option of requesting your certificate of good standing via email, mail, online, fax, or in person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to pay a fee to get your certificate. The fees vary depending upon the state and the type of business entity you operate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Importance of Maintaining a Certificate of Good Standing<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining a certificate of good standing is similar to maintaining a good reputation among your peers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You wouldn\u2019t want your friends to question your credibility and sever ties with you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, your business may have the same aspirations. It intends to expand its operations, establish connections within the business community and enjoy certain rights that the state has to offer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an HR professional, you may want to stay informed about the significance of maintaining a certificate of authorization and the consequences if done otherwise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Need<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like any other business, yours may also want to grow and reach new heights. This could mean introducing new products, growing the customer base, or branching out to other states or countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the case of the latter, your business will have to register itself as a foreign entity. For instance, if you are originally based in Ohio and intend to open up a new office in New York you will be required to present a certificate of existence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some states may require you to present a letter of the certificate that expires within a short span such as 90 days. This is their way of knowing if you have remained compliant with your state of formation. In that case, you have to be mindful of when your certificate needs to be renewed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For that, you can hire a full-service agent who can monitor your entity and keep you updated about any status changes that may occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Consequences of Not Having One<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case your business fails to comply with the state\u2019s regulations, it may be fined. This can adversely impact your company\u2019s credibility and authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a situation where you would like to make your business\u2019s presence in another state or country, your company might have to face challenges and resistance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Failure to comply can also result in a company becoming void, revoked, or dissolved altogether. The company could also lose its limited liability protection. When a company is no longer protected by the state authority, it can easily be taken over by another entity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another problem that your entity could face is losing <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wolterskluwer.com\/en\/expert-insights\/what-is-good-standing-and-why-your-business-needs-it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">access<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to state courts and becoming prone to identity theft. Losing a good standing means putting your company\u2019s website, personal information, and identity at a risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, it is suggested that you keep a monthly check on your entity\u2019s status and stay informed about your state\u2019s regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full
