Questions

What is a certificate of good standing?

A document from the New Jersey Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services saying your company is registered and has filed its reports and paid its fees. Some states call it a certificate of existence, status or fact.

Who asks for one?

Banks opening an account or making a loan, another state when you register there, and buyers or investors checking the company.

How recent does it need to be?

It shows your status on the day it's issued, so whoever asks for it usually wants a recent one. Ask them how recent.

What if my company isn't in good standing?

New Jersey won't issue the certificate until the missed reports and fees are filed. We can do that with reinstatement, $199 + state fees and penalties.
