I am wondering if I can register a company in another state even
though my home state is not there. For example, I live in NC but can I
register a company in New York or Colorado? *I am not planning to move
or anything*

For what purpose would you like to register in a different state? What
kind of company do you have?

Thanks,

The purpose of registering in another state includes taxes,
warehousing, and such. We will be doing imports and exports and
wholesales.

Thanks in advance

It happens all the time!

You can easily register a company name or business in another state,
as I have already done.  Just contact any licensed attorney in the
state where you wish to have your business registered, and have
him/her do it for you.  The cost for such is nominal, and usually
attorneys do such a service very inexpensively, because they hope that
they might be able to get all of your FUTURE business.  It is a simple
matter, and any attorney can do this service for you, even if it is
not his/her "specialty."  Good luck!

To register a business in NY you can use:

and for Colorado you use:

http://www.colorado.gov/

Most sole proprietorships are free and setup online. Such as here in
NJ. I received a temporary sales and use tax certificate online while
they mailed me the real deal. All free and online.

Hope this gets it done

Try http://www.corporation.com/ . They are a law firm that specializes
in incorporating incorporations. There are various laws in some states
that require a registered agent or director to be a resident of that
particular state. Delware however allows this, and also provides some
tax shelter. Try reading the website to see if you can register in the
state you choose.
