Question:  My limited liability company was not formed in California, but it has a an employee who lives in California.  I understand that if a foreign LLC has an employee or office in California the foreign limited liability company must register to do business in California.  How do I register a foreign LLC to do business in California.

Answer:  An LLC formed outside California that does business in California must register to do business in California by filing an Application to Register (Form LLC-5).

When is an LLC Formed Outside CA Doing Business in California?

To learn more about when a foreign LLC must register to do business in California read my articles called “Warning for Non-California LLCs that Have Members, Managers or Agents in California” and “California’s LLC Law Lists Events that Do Not Cause a Foreign LLC to Do Business in CA.”
