What is the exact late fee for New Hampshire LLC annual reports?

New Hampshire does not impose additional monetary late fees beyond the standard $100 annual report fee. However, failure to file within 60 days can result in administrative dissolution, which requires reinstatement fees and additional paperwork.

Can I reinstate my New Hampshire LLC after administrative dissolution?

Yes, you can typically reinstate a dissolved New Hampshire LLC within 3 years of dissolution by filing all overdue annual reports, paying the $100 fee plus reinstatement fees, and submitting a reinstatement application to the Secretary of State.

Does being late on my annual report affect my LLC's liability protection?

Yes, once your New Hampshire LLC loses good standing or is dissolved for non-filing, you may lose limited liability protection and could face personal liability for business debts and obligations until the LLC is restored to good standing.

How can I check my New Hampshire LLC's current good standing status?

You can verify your LLC's status by searching the New Hampshire Secretary of State's business database online at https://www.sos.nh.gov or by requesting an official Certificate of Good Standing for a fee.
