Good Standing
What is a Certificate of Good Standing?
A Certificate of Good Standing is an official document issued by the Secretary of State (or equivalent agency). It confirms your business is properly registered, has submitted its required reports, has paid its fees, and remains authorized to operate in the state.
Depending on the state, it may be called a Certificate of Status, Certificate of Existence, or Certificate of Fact. They all serve the same purpose.
