Registered Agent Services

What is the purpose of a Registered Agent?
A Registered Agent acts as the representative for accepting Service of Process. Service of Process is broadly defined to include any legal proceeding, legal notice or official government communication presented to a company. The Registered Agent ensures each Service of Process is properly received and forwarded to the appropriate party in a timely manner.

Why Should You Designate and Maintain a Registered Agent?
Any entity conducting business within a state must register to do business in that state, designate and maintain a Registered Agent. Most states allow the company or a designated employee to act as the Registered Agent.

However, the majority of businesses choose to use a professional Registered Agent. Why? The professional Registered Agent is always available and documents are received and forwarded to your company by an experienced agent.

When do I need a Registered Agent?
A Registered Agent must be named at the time of filing and acts on a company's behalf in their state of incorporation/qualification.

What does a registered agent do?
Primary duties of a Registered Agent include providing a Registered Office address, receiving Service of Process, and acting as a main mailing contact with the Secretary of State and other regulatory agencies. The Registered Agent also forwards any tax notices and state reports, where applicable. For example, if a company were named in a lawsuit, notice would be served upon the Registered Agent, who would immediately notify the company and the designated contact.

Do I have to use a Registered Agent?
Corporate laws in nearly every state require a Registered Agent and a Registered office. If you are forming a company in the state where your business is located, most states allow an officer, director, or the company itself, to act as Registered Agent. However, due to the potentially awkward situation of being served on the business premises or the documents falling into uninformed hands, most businesses choose the services of a professional Registered Agent.
