Registered Agents

How They Work

In this section, we will describe registered agents and why they are essential. It is critical to maintain compliance with each state's registered agent requirement.

A registered agent is simply a business or individual designated to receive a service of process when a business is party to a legal matter like a lawsuit or summons. This job, although not super interesting, comes with a lot of rules. Most states require corporations and LLCs to designate registered agents, and registered agents must be at a designated address during reasonable business hours (this varies state-to-state). Having a registered agent is an essential formality of maintaining LLC or corporate protection, so it is critical to do it right.

We are happy to handle burdens that come with this, so your client can stay compliant without another headache to deal with. When you select our Registered Agent Services, we notify you as soon as we receive a legal complaint or process. You can then make an informed decision on how to handle it.

You can also be your client's registered agent. If this is the case, we will select your business address during the registration process as your clients' registered agent address. If you are opening up a business for a client in a state where you do not have an office, we can serve as registered agent. We can do so in all 50 states and in Washington DC. It is also possible to change a registered agents, so you have tremendous flexibility.
