220. “Business Across State Lines” with Curt Moore
Send us Fan Mail
Dawn talks with Curt Moore, founder of Moat Title Security (headquartered in Oklahoma City and operating in nine states), about what businesses must consider when expanding into new states, especially in regulated industries like real estate and public document recording. Kurt explains the need to register as a foreign entity with each state’s Secretary of State (with varying fees and annual requirements), maintain proper insurance and risk-aligned terms of service, and understand county-by-county recording rules and acceptable document nomenclature. He emphasizes consistency in entity structure, getting legal advice, researching state statutes, and proactively calling state offices or county clerks for guidance. Curt describes how Moat modifies contract language in some states to coordinate with state fraud statutes, and how Moat prioritizes expansion states based on target demographics and regulatory complexity to avoid costly compliance surprises.
