Domestic Corporation

A Domestic Corporation is a corporation organized under the laws of the jurisdiction where it is doing business (for example, a Delaware corporation is a domestic corporation in Delaware). Domestic Corporation status affects governance law and filings, and a Domestic Corporation may still need “foreign qualification” to operate in other states.
