Authorized to do business

A Certificate of Good Standing, sometimes called a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Authorization, is a state-issued document used to demonstrate that a corporation or limited liability company (LLC) exists or is authorized to do business in the state and has complied with all state-required formalities.

Why it’s important

A Certificate of Good Standing is typically required when a company wishes to register to transact business in another state (foreign qualify) and may also be required before a company can enter certain contracts or relationships. The Certificate of Good Standing sets forth:
• Your company’s name
• That your company is incorporated and authorized to do business in that state
• That all fees, taxes and/or any applicable penalties owed the state have been paid
• That the company’s most recent annual report has been filed
• That Articles of Dissolution have not been filed

Keep in Mind

If your company is not in good standing with the state when a Certificate of Good Standing is requested, the state will often return a document stating that your company is in existence but is in “bad standing,” which can have a negative impact on your business.
