Doing Business Outside Your State
When expanding an entity into a new jurisdiction, you must follow the correct process to legally conduct business within new borders. This process is known as foreign qualification, and it can be a huge undertaking—especially if you're not familiar with the unique requirements of the jurisdiction you're entering.
The consequences of making the wrong decision can be extreme—ranging from monetary penalties for a corporation to jail time for its officers and directors. Rest assured, CSC has you covered.
