   (2) For purposes of this article, if any person establishes or

   (b) Any insured foreign (other state) industrial loan company that
maintains a facility and that has not filed with the commissioner an

service, who may be the commissioner, forthwith sends notice of the
service and a copy of the process by registered or certified mail to
the industrial loan company served at the last address on file with
the commissioner for any of the industrial loan company's offices in
this state or at its head office, and (2) an affidavit of compliance
with this subdivision by the party making the service is filed in the
