§ 6910 Foreign Corporation Compliance

Key Takeaways

  • •Foreign companies doing business in this state must follow most of the same rules as local companies.
  • •There are a few special rules just for foreign companies, but most of the regular business rules still apply.
  • •One specific rule (Section 2115) does not apply to foreign companies.

Example

A toy company from another country opens a store in this state to sell its toys.

This toy company must follow almost all the same rules as a toy company that started in this state, like paying taxes and following safety rules. But there’s one rule about how companies are structured (Section 2115) that they don’t have to follow.
