If you really need your original approved Application for Authority to Transact Business in your hands quickly, the Express Mail option can cut the delivery time in half. The Express Mail option has no effect on the Oregon Secretary of State's processing time. 

S Corporations are taxed differently than C Corporations.  With an S Corporation, business profits may be "passed through" directly to the shareholders.  This avoids the double tax on both corporate and shareholder profits.  S Corporations do not pay any Oregon Corporate Income Tax.

We can prepare the S Corporation Election form for you and include it with your final Foreign LLC documents package.

Every Oregon Foreign LLC is required to have an address within the state of Oregon where official and legal correspondence can be delivered.  The individual or company that is registered with the state of Oregon to receive all correspondence on behalf of the Foreign LLC is called a Registered Agent.

You may act as your own Registered Agent, however, many Foreign LLCs hire a Registered Agent because they don't have a physical address within Oregon or to provide a distinct level of privacy. 

We can act as your Oregon Foreign LLC Registered Agent.  This is an annual service.  We will forward all correspondence to you and will remind you when it is time to renew your OR Registered Agent services.

An Oregon Good Standing Certficate is proof of the existence of your new Oregon Foreign LLC. The Certificate is issued by the Oregon Secretary of State and is proof that your OR Foreign LLC is not behind on any of its Oregon Secretary of State Corporate obligations.

An Oregon Good Standing Certificate is often required for loans, to apply for business licenses, or for tax or other business purposes in the state of Oregon or in any other state.

We can get your Oregon Good Standing Certificate immediately after the Oregon Secretary of State has approved your Foreign LLC.

An FEIN is like a Social Security Number for your Oregon Foreign LLC.  We can get your FEIN on the same day that your Application for Authority to Transact Business are approved by the Oregon Secretary of State.

You can get your FEIN before your articles are approved by the Oregon Secretary of State but it's a good idea to wait until after approval.  Your filing may be rejected or the Foreign LLC name that you want may not be approved.  Changing information on an FEIN filing is not a trivial exercise with the IRS.

While you're not required to have a Foreign LLC Kit and Seal for your new Oregon Foreign LLC they do come in handy.  The OR Foreign LLC Kit consists of a beautiful customized binder, stock certificates, a stock ledger and your custom Foreign LLC Seal.

The Foreign LLC Seal is used to emboss important company documents, such as stock certificates.  The binder also includes dividers so you can use it for all of your Oregon Foreign LLC record keeping.

Most new Oregon Foreign LLCs are required to get some kind of state, regional or local permits or business licenses.  The task to figure out exactly what you need can be daunting.

We can determine exactly which forms you need to fill out, fill them out for you and file the forms with the appropriate government agency where possible.
