Re-Domicile of A Sole Proprietorship To Another State


Do states and counties allow sole proprietorship to move from one state to another?

No,The states and counties do not permit a sole proprietor to move from one state to another or a county, unlike a corporation or an LLC. Rather, it registers again in the new county or state, and it does not carry the history of the existing business.

Does a Sole Proprietorship can secure a Good Standing Letter?

No, the secretary of state does not issue a certificate of good standing letter for a sole proprietorship.
