The principal place is the primary declared location
It generally represents the primary place from which business in that State is conducted and where relevant records may be maintained. The declaration should reflect actual operating facts.
Additional places record other locations
Warehouses, branches or other operating locations within the same State may need to be added according to the business model and applicable rules. Interstate expansion may require a separate registration review.
Review before filing or amendment

Frequently asked questions
