How to Move Your Business Out of California and Keep Your EIN Through Redomestication

Moving a business out of California while keeping its existing federal employer identification number (EIN), contracts, and bank accounts is possible through a legal process called redomestication. Redomestication changes the state where a company is domiciled without changing the identity of the business itself. Cummings & Cummings Law offers this service entirely online, handled by a dually licensed attorney and CPA on a flat-fee basis with no sales call required.
What is redomestication and how does it preserve your business identity?
Redomestication is the legal process of transferring a company from California to another state while maintaining the existing federal employer identification number, contracts, bank accounts, and in most cases the company name. The process does not create downtime or interrupt normal business operations. When executed correctly, the company continues to operate under its existing legal identity in a new state jurisdiction, avoiding the complications that come with dissolving and re-forming a business.

What should you ask before hiring a redomestication service?
The firm identifies seven key questions business owners should demand answers to before hiring anyone to redomesticate a company. These questions help ensure the service provider understands your specific situation and can deliver appropriate results. Cummings & Cummings Law states that if their redomestication process does not fit your company, they will tell you directly rather than proceed with an unsuitable engagement.
What does the redomestication package include?
