Info on how to incorporate in Pennsylvania, or register your out of state business:
Filing in Pennsylvania can be accomplished through their online system, but you have to fax your signatures in, which can get lost and confused sometimes, turning the situation into a mess. We recommend mailing the filings in. The signatures do not need to be original signatures, and the Pennsylvania Department of State Corporation Bureau will get your filing completed in 1-2 days. You can do the PA online system, but you have to registered with every state agency at the same time, and the online process will take a LOT of your time.
Your Pennsylvania registered agent does not need to sign your filing, but you do need to list our name and county. Our offices in King of Prussia will fulfill this requirement. And by using us, you'll save in publication costs!
You can elect us as your commercial registered office provider by using our CROP number.
Your filing should include the docketing statement for instructions on what to do after the filing is complete.
All PA docketing statements and forms are pre-populated with our PA-CROP info on them for your ease of use.
It costs $70.00 to change your Pennsylvania registered agent by filing a change of agent form. This is pretty expensive, and some companies know this, so you should choose your company carefully and choose a PA registered agent that doesn't have hidden fees, or hidden mail forwarding fees, because it can be costly to have to change agents. Some Pennsylvania Registered Agents know this and know as long as they keep miscellaneous fees throughout the year less than $70.00 they can get away with it. We've seen companies even offering lower prices around $75.00 a year and then charging you forwarding fees everytime they receive something for you. Northwest Registered Agent doesn't believe in nickel and diming a customer. We believe in charging a fair price year after year, and hopefully you'll refer us to your friends.
There are decennial reports due once every 10 years. These get mailed to your Pennsylvania Registered Agent. We store these in your online account and help make sure you file them.
