]]> A Certificate of Good Standing is a brief document issued by a state government agency that certifies a business entity as validly existing and legally authorized to conduct normal operations within the state. To obtain a Certificate of Good Standing, a business entity generally needs to be up to date on all required fees and filings, such as annual reports and business license renewals. 

Every state issues some form of a Certificate of Good Standing, but the exact name depends on locality. There are many alternative names for a Certificate of Good Standing, such as:

  • Certificate of Existence
  • Certificate of Authorization
  • Certificate of Status
  • Certificate of Compliance
  • Certificate of Fact
  • Certificate of Registration

All these names refer to the same type of document. Under any name, it has the same significance: It verifies that a particular business was established in compliance with state laws and remains a legally functioning entity. 

A business owner is not required to have a Certificate of Good Standing in order to remain compliant with the law. It is not a business license or permit. Nonetheless, there are certain types of important business transactions where a business entity is expected to produce a valid Certificate of Good Standing—and the following infographic from FastFilings touches on some of the more frequently encountered occasions. 

It’s certainly a sound business practice to have a Certificate of Good Standing in your files. Bear in mind, however, that it is commonplace for the other party to request a certificate that has been printed recently (e.g., within the past 30 or 60 days). Even if you already have a certificate on hand, it may be necessary to get a new one.

How to Get a Certificate of Good Standing 

FastFilings offers the easiest way for businesses to obtain a recent Certificate of Good Standing. Although it’s always possible to order a certificate from the relevant state agency, FastFilings has streamlined the process to remove all the worry and hassle of dealing with the government. There’s no easier way to apply for a Certificate of Good Standing from the state.

Keep reading for information on business scenarios where a Certificate of Good Standing might come into play.

If you want to form a contract with another company or open a new line of credit with the bank, you might be asked to provide a Minnesota certificate of good standing (CGS). 

This document proves you are properly registered with the state and are up to date on all your business filings. As the name suggests, it shows you’re in “good standing” with the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Keep reading to find out what situations might require this document and how to get a certificate of good standing in a few easy steps.

What Is a Certificate of Good Standing?

A certificate of good standing is a legal document proving that a business exists and is in compliance with state law. In Minnesota, certificates of good standing are issued by the Secretary of State.

What Does a Certificate of Good Standing Prove?

A certificate of good standing proves that your business is on solid ground with the Minnesota Secretary of State. But what’s actually in the document?

The language in a Minnesota certificate of good standing indicates that your business has:

  • Filed an annual report
  • Paid all necessary fees to the Secretary of State’s office
  • Paid franchise tax fees (if applicable)

When Do I Need to Provide a Certificate of Good Standing?

A certificate of good standing is not a business license. You don’t need one to conduct business in Minnesota (but you do need to be properly registered with state).

Rather, you may be asked to provide a certificate of good standing if you want to:

  • Do business in another state
  • Open a business bank account
  • Insure your business
  • Woo potential business partners
  • Form a contract with another company
  • Secure funding for your business
  • Compete for a government contract
  • Renew certain licenses or permits
  • Set up a payment processing system
  • Sell your business
GET STARTED

Which Types of Business Entities Can Request a CGS?

To stay in good standing, certain business entities (including corporations and LLCs taxed as S corporations) must submit an annual report on time each year, pay their franchise tax fees (if applicable), and pay all the necessary fees to the Secretary of State’s office.

In general, business entities that must register to operate in the state of Minnesota can request a certificate of good standing. This includes:

  • For-profit corporations
  • Nonprofits
  • Limited liability companies (LLCs)
  • Limited partnerships (LPs)
  •  Limited liability partnerships (LLPs)
  • Sole proprietorships and general partnerships that conduct business under an assumed name (DBA)

Sole proprietorships operating under the owner’s name don’t require registration and can’t submit a CGS.

GET STARTED

Should I Get a CGS Just in Case?

It’s not a bad idea to have a certificate of good standing on hand, especially if you’re trying to woo a potential business partner or planning to open a business bank account or apply for public funding.

These are all instances where you may be asked to provide a CGS. You don’t need to prove that someone has requested a certificate of good standing in order to obtain one from the Minnesota Secretary of State.

But keep in mind that only businesses that are required to register with the state can request a certificate of good standing. If your business isn’t registered, you won’t be able to obtain a CGS.

But, in this case, you shouldn’t need one either. If someone asks you for a CGS and your business isn’t required to register, explain why you can’t provide it. The person/entity may not be aware that only registered businesses can request a certificate of good standing.

How Do I Comply with Minnesota Requirements to Get a CGS?

Only registered businesses that are in compliance with state laws can obtain a Minnesota certificate of compliance. To comply with the law, you need to:

  • Have the right business licenses and permits – Check with the Secretary of State to learn which ones you need.
  • Pay your taxes and state fees – This includes sales tax, unemployment insurance tax, franchise tax, and any other required Minnesota taxes.
  • File your annual renewal – This form, known in other states as an annual report, is due at the end of each year and keeps the Secretary of State updated on key information about your business.

FAQ

How much does a Minnesota CGS cost?

If you request a CGS online, the fee is $15. If you request a CGS in person or by mail, the fee is $5.

How long will it take to get my Minnesota Certificate of Good Standing?

Minnesota certificates of good standing are usually processed the same day. If you submit your request by mail, it will take 2-5 business days to process, plus mailing time. In-person requests take around 1 hour.

Is a CGS required to stay compliant in Minnesota?

You don’t need a certificate of good standing to be compliant with Minnesota’s business laws. But to obtain a CGS, your business needs to be compliant. This means paying your taxes and fees on time, completing your annual renewals, and obtaining the appropriate licenses and permits.

When Do I Need a Certificate of Good Standing?

You aren’t required to have a certificate of good standing on file simply to conduct business in Oklahoma. But you may need one if you want to do certain things—like apply for a business loan or rent a commercial property. A potential business partner may also ask for one before they agree to sign a contract with your business.

You might also need a CGS to:

  • Apply for financing

What Information Do I Need to Provide to Get a CGS?

What Does a Certificate of Good Standing Prove?

To start a business in Oklahoma, you must choose a business name and legal structure (corporation, LLC, partnership, etc.), register the business with the Oklahoma Secretary of State, obtain a federal tax ID, and get all necessary licenses and permits.

Corporations, LLCs partnerships, and nonprofits must also file an annual report, which keeps the state updated on vital information about the business from year to year.

All these things (and more, like paying taxes) are required to keep a business in “good standing” with the Oklahoma Secretary of State.

This is the purpose of a certificate of good standing. It proves that a business is up to date on its business filings and taxes, and that it is properly registered and authorized to do business in the state of Oklahoma.

Here is the information contained in an Oklahoma certificate of good standing:

  • Registered business name
  • Date of business formation
  • Declaration that business taxes and required fees have been paid and that the business has filed its annual report within the allowed timeline 
  • Verification the business has not filed for dissolution

The state of Georgia issues a variety of licenses, permits, and documents that enable businesses operating here to demonstrate their compliance with local laws and regulations. Among these is the Certificate of Good Standing. Because there is a lot of confusion regarding this topic, it’s worth taking the time to explore what this certificate does, when you need one, and where you can go to obtain it. 

What Is a Georgia Certificate of Good Standing?

A Georgia Certificate of Good Standing, also frequently known as a Certificate of Existence, is a document issued by the Georgia Secretary of State that certifies a company was correctly registered with the state and is currently in compliance with all filing requirements, including payment of fees. It serves as legal evidence that a business is authorized to conduct business in the state of Georgia.

Most states have some form of this certificate. Depending on which state or jurisdiction you’re dealing with, a Certificate of Good Standing might go by another name, such as:

  • Certificate of Compliance
  • Certificate of Authorization
  • Certificate of Status
  • Good Standing Certificate

The State of Georgia most commonly refers to this document as a Certificate of Existence.

Are Businesses Required to Have a Certificate of Good Standing in Georgia?

No, businesses are not required to have a Certificate of Good Standing for normal day-to-day operations in the state of Georgia. However, there are specific situations where a business may be asked to provide a valid Certificate of Good Standing in Georgia to demonstrate compliance with state requirements. 

Here are some business situations that may require a Certificate of Good Standing:

Securing financing – The process of obtaining a business loan generally requires the borrower to present a Certificate of Good Standing/Existence to prove their legal authority to operate in the state.

Purchasing business insurance – Insurers usually want to see a Certificate of Good Standing before issuing a policy covering a particular business. 

Opening a bank account – Businesses are normally required to show a valid Certificate of Good Standing in order to open an account with a bank or a payment processing company.

Transactions with other businesses – It’s common for outside businesses to ask for a Certificate of Good Standing before signing a legal agreement. 

Expansion into other areas – If a business wants to establish a branch or franchise in another state, it’s customary for the governmental authority in the new area to demand proof of the business’s good standing in the state it was initially registered with. A recent Certificate of Good Standing can provide that.

License renewals – Certain professions and industries require field-specific licenses to operate legally, and it may be necessary to show a valid Certificate of Good Standing to renew such licenses. This is especially common in highly regulated industries such as healthcare or finance.

Selling the business – If a business is being sold, the buyer may want to see a Certificate of Good Standing to ensure that the business is a legitimate enterprise that is in compliance with state laws and regulations.

In many cases, the third party requesting a copy of a Georgia Certificate of Good Standing will ask that the document bear a recent date of issue—for instance, within the past thirty days. That consideration aside, a Certificate of Good Standing does not “expire.” A lot of business owners prefer to have one of these certificates in their files so that it is readily available if the need for it should suddenly arise.

GET STARTED

What Information Is on a Georgia Certificate of Good Standing?

A Certificate of Existence in Georgia contains several statements of fact pertaining to a specific business entity:

  • The official name of the business entity 
  • The business structure of the organization (e.g., domestic profit corporation)
  • The date of business formation in Georgia
  • A statement that the business is in compliance with filing requirements (as listed in the Official Code of Georgia)   
  • A statement that the business has not filed for cancellation or dissolution   
  • A statement that the certificate is to be regarded as prima facie evidence of the business’s current existence and legal authorization to conduct operations in Georgia

At the bottom is the official seal of the state of Georgia and the signature of the Secretary of State.

GET STARTED

How to Get a Georgia Certificate of Good Standing

You can get a Certificate of Existence in Georgia only if your business is registered with the  Corporations Division of the Office of Secretary of State. This includes:

  • Corporations (including nonprofit and professional corporations)
  • Limited partnerships (LPs)
  • Limited liability companies (LLCs)

Note that sole proprietorships and general partnerships, which do not need to register with the state of Georgia, are not eligible to receive a Certificate of Good Standing. (Registration of these entities are typically handled by the city or county in which the business is located.)

It’s also important to understand that you cannot get a Certificate of Good Standing unless you have actually complied with the necessary filing requirements of the state of Georgia, including annual reports. Any delinquency in this respect must be addressed first. 

When you’re ready to get your certificate, you always have the option of obtaining one directly from the official website of the Georgia Secretary of State’s office. However, if you’d rather not bother with navigating through a government website, FastFilings has a more convenient option when it comes to your Certificate of Good Standing in Georgia.

What Is a Certificate of Good Standing?

A certificate of good standing is a state-issued document that confirms a business is authorized to operate in Delaware, is properly registered, and is in full compliance with all laws. It helps assure business partners and clients that the business can be trusted and relied upon.

Certificates of good standing also go by other names, including:

  • Letter of good standing
  • Certificate of legal existence
  • Certificate of existence
  • Certificate of status
  • Certificate of facts

Who Needs One and Why Is It Important?

A certificate of good standing isn’t something you’re required to have to operate a business. Instead, it’s a document that others might ask to see before they agree to work with you. After all, they want to know they can trust you as a business. If you don’t have a certificate when it’s requested, you could be missing out on big opportunities.

You might need a certificate of good standing when: 

  • Soliciting investors
  • Opening a line of credit with a supplier
  • Applying for an out-of-state business license
  • Renting property for your business
  • Setting up company bank accounts
  • Leasing or purchasing company vehicles

If you think you might want to do any of the things listed above, it’s a good idea to get a Delaware certificate of existence as early as you can. This can be especially valuable for new business owners looking to get a leg up.

How to Get a Certificate of Good Standing in Delaware

How to Get a Certificate of Good Standing in DelawareThe most important element of getting your certificate is knowing how to keep your LLC in good standing to begin with.

What Is a Certificate of Good Standing?

A certificate of good standing is a document that certifies that a business is properly registered, compliant with all legal standards, and is authorized to operate legally in that state. Essentially, this certification tells vendors, business partners, and other organizations that the state of Connecticut considers them safe, authorized, and reliable to work with. 

Other names for a certificate of good standing may include: 

  • Certificate of status
  • Certificate of facts
  • Letter of good standing
  • Certificate of existence
  • Certificate of legal existence

Who Needs to Have a Certificate of Good Standing?

Some common business documents are things that you need to have at all times just to operate legally. A certificate of good standing, on the other hand, is something that mainly comes into play when others ask to see it. If you have a Connecticut business and plan to work with vendors, suppliers, financial institutions, etc., you’re more than likely going to need this certification before they’ll agree to do business with you. 

Examples of situations that might require a certificate of good standing include:

  • Renting commercial property
  • Buying or leasing commercial vehicles
  • Soliciting for investments
  • Applying for a license to do business out of state
  • Opening a line of credit with vendors/suppliers
  • Opening various bank accounts for your business

Although you don’t necessarily need a certificate of good standing until it is requested, it’s a good idea for newly formed businesses to apply for one right away if they intend on doing any of the above. Having this certificate ready to go makes all of these processes faster and easier.

When you operate a business in Hawaii, you are required to pay general excise taxes on any items you purchase from your vendors and suppliers. You must still pay this tax even when buying inventory items you intend to resell to your customers.

The current general excise tax rate is 4%. However, there can be up to an additional 0.5% in certain counties or cities. Most businesses pass along the general excise tax expenses they pay to their customers to recover the money they paid to their vendors and suppliers.

However, the state does allow business owners in Hawaii to obtain a Hawaii resale certificate to offset the amount of tax they pay on inventory items.

Other Names for a Hawaii Resale Certificate

Some other names people used to refer to their resale certificate in Hawaii include:

  • Hawaii Wholesale Permit
  • Hawaii Reseller’s Permit
  • Hawaii Wholesale License
  • Hawaii Resale License
  • Hawaii Vendor Permit

Who Needs a Resale Certificate in Hawaii?

All business owners in Hawaii who resell goods at retail need a resale certificate. The primary benefit is, of course, you only have to pay 0.5% in general excise taxes on your inventory items.

How Do I Use a Hawaii Resale Certificate?

Once you obtain your resale certificate, you will need to make multiple copies of the certificate to present to your vendors and supplies. Every vendor and supplier will keep a copy of the certificate. You only need to do this once, and any future sales from your vendors and suppliers will receive the reduced general excise tax rate on your resale items.

GET STARTED

Can I Use My Hawaii Wholesale License Out of State?

Most states will honor your existing wholesale license. However, Hawaii is one of ten states that do not recognize out-of-state resale certificates. For example, if you want to purchase goods and not pay sales taxes on them in Washington or California, you must file and obtain a resale certificate in each of those states.

Do Resale Certificates in Hawaii Expire?

Once you obtain your resale certificate in Hawaii, it never expires. However, there are a few exceptions you need to know about. For starters, if you change your business name or the location of your business, you do need to update your certificate with the state and provide your vendors and suppliers with a new copy reflecting the changes.

Second, if you decide to sell the business, the new owner needs to update the ownership change with the state. Then they would need to present new copies of the resale certificate to vendors and suppliers.

Last, the resale certificate is considered “expired” if you go out of business.

GET STARTED

How Much Tax Do I Charge My Customers?

Business owners in Hawaii charge their customers the 4% state general excise tax rate plus any county or city rate. In addition, they are allowed to charge up to 0.166% more to help recover the taxes they paid to their vendors and supplies.

If one of your customers has a resale certificate in Hawaii, then you would only charge them 0.5% in general excise taxes on the items they are purchasing from you that they intend to resell to their customers.

Is a General Excise Tax License the Same as a Resale Certificate?

In Hawaii, a general excise tax license, also known as a sales and use tax certificate or seller’s permit, is not the same thing as your resale certificate. All business owners in Hawaii must obtain a general excise tax license. However, only businesses that sell goods at retail need a resale certificate.

]]> A certificate of good standing is an important document that some businesses require at some point during their operation. However, not all businesses will require a certificate of good standing. To decide whether your business needs one, we encourage you to review the following information.

 

What is a certificate of good standing?

The best way to think of a certificate of good standing is to think about it like it was a passport for your business. Essentially, this document shows that your business is in good standing with your state and is legally and officially registered to do business in that state.

Depending on your state, a certificate of good standing could be called a certificate of status, good standing certificate, certificate of authorizations, or a certificate of existence. No matter what your Secretary of State’s office calls the certificate, it proves that your business is authorized to conduct business in your state.

 

Who needs to file for a certificate of good standing?

There are several situations where you will need to file for a certificate of good standing with your Secretary of State’s office, including:

  • You are asked to provide one by a lender or bank to prove your creditworthiness or the existence of your business to open a line of credit, credit card, take out a small business loan, or open a bank account for your business.
  • Potential investors that are considering investing in your business or becoming a partner will often ask for a certificate of good standing to ensure your business is in compliance with your state.
  • You can need a certificate of status when you need to obtain or renew certain business permits, licenses, and certificates.
  • You will need to provide a certificate of authority if you are expanding your business in another state. That state will request one to verify you are in good standing with your state.
  • If you ever decide to sell your business, you will need to provide a certificate of good standing to your sales agent so they can provide it in your portfolio that potential buyers will see.
  • Other businesses can ask you to provide one when you are establishing lines of credit with them.

How long is a certificate of good standing valid for?

A certificate of good standing has a limitation on the number of months it is valid. Most Secretary of State offices will issue the certificate and have it be valid for 90 days. At the end of that time, you would need to apply for a new one if one was needed later.

Why is a certificate of good standing only valid for such a short period?

Does my business need a certificate of good standingThe status of your business could potentially change in the future. As such, states want to ensure you maintain your good standing with the state. However, for businesses that are no longer able to do this, the state wants to ensure they are not able to obtain a certificate of status until they bring their business back into good standing with the state.

In other words, the short valid period helps protect other businesses, investors, and parties that require one.

 

Does my business need a certificate of good standing?

Limited liability companies and corporations frequently need to obtain a certificate of good standing for various reasons. Small businesses that operate as sole proprietorships or partnerships may not need one as often.

However, some states require business entities to obtain one as part of the processes of registering their businesses and obtaining their business licenses. So, when you are first starting a new business, it can make sense to obtain one because you will most likely want to open a bank account and apply for a business credit card or a line of credit for your business.

 

How can FastFilings help me obtain a certificate of good standing?

FastFilings can help you save time obtaining a good standing certificate from your Secretary of State’s office. We have streamlined the process of applying for one and take the guesswork out of knowing what form to complete, let alone completing it correctly.

It takes about five minutes to complete our secure online form. After you submit the form, we review it and use this information to fill out your certificate of good standing application. As long as everything is in order, it is possible to have your certificate of good standing delivered electronically to you the same business day.

What Is a Certificate of Good Standing?

A Certificate of Good Standing (a.k.a. Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Status) is a state-issued document confirming that a business is authorized to operate and is in good standing with the Secretary of State. “Good standing” means they are legally compliant and are not delinquent in any fees, penalties, taxes, or other dues.

 

Reasons a Certificate Can Be Denied

There are many reasons a Certificate of Good Standing might be denied. The following are only a few examples.

 

The State Has Very Particular Filing Requirements

Some states require businesses to submit unique forms or use very particular language in a filing. If those minute details aren’t followed, it may mean automatic denial.

 

The Text Isn’t Legible

If the information is hard to read on paper or in digital format, it could be denied simply because they can’t be sure of what’s written.

 

Information Is Missing or Incomplete

Woman Filing Certificate of Good Standing with Fast FilingsAll information should be provided exactly as requested. If, for example, they request an exact date, providing only the month and year could lead to a denial.

 

The Business Isn’t Actually in Good Standing

In some cases, business owners may not be aware of unresolved issues. Things like unpaid business taxes or failure to file a required form can cause a business to lose good standing and be denied a certificate.

 

What to Do If Your Certificate Is Denied

If your certificate is denied:

  1. Check whether a reason was listed on the denial notice. If there isn’t one listed or you need more information, contact the agency that sent the notice to determine what needs to be fixed.
  2. If the issue is simple, like a single missed signature or misspelled name, you may feel confident enough to correct it and file again on your own.
  3. If the reason seems unclear or you’re not sure how to correct it, it’s a good idea to seek informed help. At FastFilings, we can help you compile exactly what you need and get you on the path to approval.

 

Fast Filings Can Help You File Properly and Prevent Denial

The following are just a few reasons why filing with us is a smart, efficient way to get your certificate:

Limited liability companies need various types of certificates, such as your seller’s certificate, wholesale certificate, etc. Sometimes LLCs will require a certificate of status when asked to provide one.

What is a certificate of status?

The secretary of state issues a certificate of status. It is a written document that verifies you are legally authorized to conduct business in your state. Unlike other essential certificates your LLC may require, not all LCCs need to obtain a certificate of status.

What is a certificate of good standing?

A certificate of good standing is another name used for a certificate of status. Some states prefer to use this name. Another name you will find used in some states is a certificate of existence. No matter what you call it, once issued a certificate, it indicates your LLC is properly registered with the state and allowed to conduct business in that state.

How do you know if your LLC needs to file a certificate of status?

You usually only require a certificate of good standing when other business entities request you provide one. For example, if you want to open a business bank account or apply for a line of credit with a wholesaler, they may ask you to provide a copy of your certificate of good standing.

Other times you may require a certificate of status includes:

  • Registering for a business license to conduct business in another state
  • Soliciting investors to invest in your business
  • Applying for or opening different types of business financial accounts
  • Applying for commercial auto loans to purchase commercial vehicles
  • Applying for commercial auto leases to lease commercial vehicles
  • Renting property for commercial use
  • Applying for credit with suppliers and vendors

Please keep in mind that these are just some examples of various situations where you may need to present a certificate of existence.

Your LLC only needs a certificate of status when asked to provide one. When you first form an LLC, it is recommended to get a certificate of good standing since you will probably be opening financial accounts, wholesale accounts, etc.

GET STARTED

How often does your LLC need to file a certificate of good standing?

You LLC will need to file for a certificate of good standing anytime it is requested if it is no longer valid. When a state issues a certificate of status, it is only valid for a short period—usually thirty to ninety days. After that, states require you to refile for a new certificate the next time one is requested.

The reason states have a thirty- to ninety-day limit is because they need to re-verify if your business is still in good standing with the state. Business situations and circumstances can change in a short period. You can use the certificate as much as you need until it expires.
