A Tennessee foreign corporation registration may be required if your company transacts (or is about to transact) business in Tennessee (other than it's original state of formation) to a degree that would require such a filing. "Transacting Business" in a state may include maintaining an office in a particular state for the purpose of transacting business and engaging in business activities that require licensing by a state agency (e.g. mortgage broker, real estate agent, dentist, etc.). You should check with an attorney in order to determine whether you need to register as a foreign corporation in Tennessee.
