Do I need to qualify/register my foreign (out-of-state or out-of-country) corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership to do business in California?
Before transacting intrastate business in California the business must first qualify/register with the California Secretary of State. (California Corporations Code section 2105, 15909.02 or 17451.) California Corporations Code sections 191, 15901.02(ai) and 17001(ap) define “transacting intrastate business” as entering into repeated and successive transactions of its business in this state. The Secretary of State’s office cannot advise you as to whether or not the business must qualify/register to do business in California. If you require assistance in making that determination and to ensure that all issues are considered and addressed appropriately, you should consult with private legal counsel.
