Corporations intending to do business in states other than their home state of incorporation must first determine whether they need to qualify to do business there –and if so, fulfill that state’s qualification requirements. Qualification can be a complex and time-consuming task, but the consequences for failing to qualify when required can be harsh, ranging from monetary penalties for a corporation to jail time for its officers and directors.

To aid in navigating these legal waters, CSC developed Qualifying to Do Business in Another State: The CSC 50-State Guide to Qualification, a comprehensive deskbook to help you and your corporate legal clients make the important decisions about whether or not to qualify in another state before doing business there, complete with the documents required to qualify if necessary.

This essential resource includes:

  • An in-depth discussion of business activities that do or do not trigger qualification requirements, with case illustrations updated for the 2024 Edition.
  • Insight into whether certain Internet activities require qualification.
  • Up-to-date qualification statutes from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, annotated with the latest case notes to show how courts have interpreted the law.
  • Quick-reference charts listing Activities That Do Not Constitute Doing Business and Consequences of Transacting Business without Authority for all jurisdictions.
  • Direct access to fillable PDF Qualification forms for all jurisdictions via our online download center.
  • An easy-to-search schedule of fees required to file qualification forms in all jurisdictions.
