Consultation
Registered Agent
A registered agent can be an individual or a business entity authorized to conduct business in the state.
The agent must have a physical address (not a P.O. Box) in the state where the business is registered
Documents
Designation Process
When forming a business entity, such as an LLC or corporation, the registered agent is designated in the formation documents filed with the state (e.g., Articles of Organization for an LLC or Articles of Incorporation for a corporation).
This designation is part of the initial paperwork submitted to the state’s business registrar
Our Responsibilities
Actions
The registered agent receives official documents on behalf of the business, including service of process (legal summons), state correspondence, compliance notices, and tax documents.
Changing Agents
Things to Remember
If a business needs to change its registered agent, it must file the appropriate form with the state, which often involves a fee.
The new agent must also consent to the appointment, and the change must be updated in the state’s records
Compliance
Stay Ahead
Some states require the registered agent information to be confirmed annually when the business files its annual report.
The registered agent service, if outsourced to a professional service provider, may include reminders and assistance with these annual filings to ensure ongoing compliance
