Your post points out a huge problem with non-attorney corporate
registrations - you are left to fend for yourself on what you should
file and where. You save a few dollars on the front end but pay for it
when you get into due diligence in a financing or M&A transaction. You can find more detail in our article on the topic at Royse University but basically you need to qualify in CA if you are conducting intrastate business in CA (a technical term). You can be the registered agent in you are an individual with an in-state address.

Brian is right. I didn't check that Vishal is apparently based in SF so Inferess is by default doing business in CA.

In that case, the tax advisor shouldn't have _suggested_ to incorporate as a CA foreign corp, but _mandated_ to do so. At this point, it's not an alternative, but how you go about doing it is your choice. Brian's S&DC-SN form is really all you have to file at this point, along with a $100 check - add $5 if you want to get a certified copy, which is recommended)

Thanks everyone for taking time and answering my question! For the benefit of others who might be in the same situation i.e company incorporated in Delaware but located / doing business in California, let me summarize what I learnt from here...

- CA requires to designate Registered Agent and in the the above form "Service of Process" states the criteria of who can be designated agent.

- Certificate of good standing from Delaware is a pre-req of the registration process. Costs $50 - More information here http://corp.delaware.gov/directweb.shtml

My company use CSCGlobal as a Registered Agent in Delaware which is much pricier ($213 p/a) than the Harvard Business Services ($50) as pointed out by Chris Murphy. So, I am going to speak to Harvard and hopefully switch agent. I am also going to
