Find Out if LLC Domestication is Right for You LLC domestication (also called LLC conversion) is a streamlined legal process for moving an LLC from one state to another. There are several reasons to move an LLC to a new state: Moving the Business with the Owners. Business owners that move to a new state often want to establish a firm connection with a new home state. Simplifying Compliance. LLCs that are governed by the law of the state where the owners live often have fewer filing requirements than LLCs that are governed by the laws of another state. Saving Taxes. Each state has its own tax laws. An LLC’s tax obligations often depend on whether the LLC has a connection—called a nexus—with the state. Moving the LLC to a new state can break this nexus, exempting the LLC from tax obligations in the state where it was originally formed. Better Choice of Law. If the new state's LLC laws are a better fit for the LLC’s business objectives than the laws of the state where the LLC was originally formed, changing the state law can have legal advantages. Fostering Better Professional Relationships. Domesticating an LLC to the state where the owners live makes it easier to find lawyers, accountants, and other professionals in the community who are familiar with local requirements and conventions.
