Good Standing Templates
A Certificate of Good Standing, also referred to as a Good Standing document or a Certificate of Existence/Authorization, serves as proof that a business entity is compliant with the required legal and financial obligations. It is an official document issued by the state or province where the entity is registered.
Obtaining a Certificate of Good Standing is often necessary when conducting various business transactions such as opening a bank account, securing financing, or entering into contracts. This document confirms that the entity is in good standing and eligible to engage in business activities.
For example, in Tennessee, you can request a Form SS-4238 to obtain a Certificate of Existence/Authorization (Good Standing). In New York, you can request a Certificate of Good Standing using their dedicated request form. Similarly, in Michigan, domestic limited liability companies can utilize Form CSCL/CD-770 to restore their Good Standing status.
It's not just businesses that require proof of Good Standing. In some cases, professionals, such as attorneys or accountants, may need to provide a Statement of Professional Standing to demonstrate their compliance with ethical and licensing requirements. In Canada, for instance, New Brunswick offers Form F for requesting a Statement of Professional Standing.
In addition, specific forms may be available for individuals in unique circumstances. For example, members of the Armed Forces who maintain active status may need to complete the Form BFS-258A to confirm their Good Standing while serving in Michigan.
Whether you're a business entity, a professional, or an individual seeking proof of Good Standing, obtaining the appropriate documentation is crucial. These documents provide peace of mind to stakeholders and help facilitate smooth interactions in various business and legal contexts.
