Registered Agent
Registered Agent Info
Hiring someone else to serve as your registered agent has its benefits, like privacy, flexibility, and document storage
A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive service of process and official mail on behalf of your business. Registered agents are also known as statutory agents, resident agents, and agents for service of process.
Each state requires registered business entities (such as an LLC, a corporation, or a nonprofit) to appoint a registered agent on their state formation documents. These formation documents (often called “articles of organization” or “articles of incorporation”) are filed in the state where the business operates. The information listed in the formation documents becomes public record.
