How to Foreign Qualify in a New State?

Doing business in a new state and need to register with the Secretary of State? (Also known as Foreign Qualification) Mosey can automate that for you in a few easy steps.

Foreign qualification is the process of registering your company in any state other than the state in which your business is incorporated.

US companies are considered domestic only in their state of incorporation. If your company is incorporated in Delaware, you can register as a domestic entity with the Delaware Secretary of State —in any other state, you’ll need to register as a foreign entity, or foreign qualify.
