What are the benefits of third-party registered agent services?

Added Freedom

Our registered agent service provides you with a physical address that is always available to accept important legal documents, so you won't need to worry about missing important paperwork when you're not at your place of business.

Added Privacy

Designating an RA allows entrepreneurs to receive additional privacy. A registered agent discretely accepts paperwork on your behalf and adds a layer of privacy between your business and the public because their address, not yours, is listed on the formation of documents. 

Form your business in another state.

Every business needs a registered agent with a physical address in the state of formation. We provide services in all 50 states, so you can start your business anywhere.

We take care of everything.

Not only will we provide you with our registered agent services, we will also handle all the paperwork required to set up a registered agent for your business.

What is the purpose of a Registered Agent?

A registered agent (often referred to as an RA, and sometimes called a statutory or resident agent) is the person or legal entity responsible for receiving important legal documents on behalf of your business. Some of these documents may include franchise tax forms, annual reports, renewal reminders, and lawsuit paperwork. The RA will organize said documents and forward them along to the corporation or LLC so that nothing gets lost through the cracks. You may act as your own RA or work with a third-party business. 

Who can be a registered agent?

As mentioned above, you may act as your own RA (especially if you hold a position as a corporate officer or director) or work alongside a third party. In order to qualify as a registered agent for an LLC or corporation, you must have a physical street address in the state of formation. A P.O. Box is not an acceptable form of an address.

Registered agents must be available during general business hours to receive service of process and must also be a resident of the state. It is perfectly legal to serve as your own registered agent, but using a third party for this important service is highly recommended. A third part RA is reliable, understands what they are doing, and helps keep track of legislative changes and requirements in the state. 

Do I need a registered agent for my business?

Most states require businesses to designate a registered agent in their formation state. For Corporations and LLCs formed on the state level, they are required to have a registered agent to remain compliant with the state law. If you do not have a registered agent, or try to avoid designating one, you company may incur penalties and the jurisdiction may even revoke your legal status. It's much better to designate a registered agent as soon as possible, since the service provides an added layer of privacy, extra security, and peace of mind for your small business.
