Bill, is a business required to register with the county and the state? Or does it vary by county and type of business?

Hi, Steph

It is my understanding that if the entity is a “domestic corporation” (i.e., incorporated in Georgia) it has to maintain that corporate status in order to protect its corporate name in the state in which it is operating.

If the entity is registered as a corporation in another state, it is supposed to register in this state (and, it might be the same in other states) as a “foreign corporation” and pay annual fees to maintain its corporate status here.

Additionally, whatever municipality that business resides in (whether a city or a county) it is required to hold a business license to operate there…and pay fees to help the county operate.

I do not know if a penalty exists with the Secretary of State’s office regarding the failure of a company to register.

If you’re conducting business you need a license. You also must file with the tax assessors office.

Hmmm, wonder if he paid his taxes.

I think the best part is the email addresses…

Today's Deep Thought

The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard and saved his money. True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out everyday. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.
