Not for nothing, the New Hampshire state motto is “Live free or die.” Famously independent and self-sufficient, Granite Staters eschew sales taxes and income taxes. They also enjoy the state's unbeatable fall foliage and abundant winter sports opportunities. Visitors and residents alike flock to the White Mountains in all seasons to hike among the tallest mountains on the Eastern Seaboard. So if your next employee is a New Hampshirite, chances are they won’t want to leave. Fortunately, in this era of remote work, it’s easy to collaborate across state lines.Bringing on a new employee can be exciting, but there’s often a lot to do as well. You want to onboard your new hire as quickly and smoothly as possible to ensure their success at your organization. But before you get started with onboarding, you’ll need to register your company with the state of New Hampshire.
