Why Do I Need a Certificate of Legal Existence?

A certificate of Legal Existence (also called a Certificate of Good Standing in some states) verifies that your business is registered with the State of Connecticut and is up-to-date with all your filing obligations. 


Most often, banks and other financial institutions require this document when it comes to closings and different kinds of financial transactions.


Getting this certificate is an easy process. And it may make your life a whole lot easier.
