Registered Agent Services
What is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a person or business entity that is appointed by a company to receive legal and official documents on its behalf, such as tax notices, legal summons, and other legal correspondence from the state government. The registered agent must have a physical address in the state where the business is registered and be available during business hours to receive and sign for any documents. Having a registered agent is important for businesses to ensure that they are promptly notified of any legal issues or other important communications from the state government.
What are the responsibilities of a Registered Agent?
The responsibilities of a registered agent may vary depending on the state and the type of business entity, but generally, their main responsibilities include:
​
-
Receiving legal and tax documents: Registered agents are responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents on behalf of the business, such as tax notices, service of process, and other official government correspondence.
​
-
Maintaining legal compliance: Registered agents ensure that the business entity is in good standing with the state by filing annual reports and other necessary paperwork.
​
-
Providing a legal address: Registered agents provide a physical address where legal and tax documents can be delivered, which helps to maintain the privacy of the business owner's personal address.
​
-
Facilitating communication: Registered agents serve as the main point of contact between the business and the state, which can help to streamline communication and ensure that important deadlines and requirements are met.
