How to Appoint a Registered Agent

What is a Registered Agent ?

A Registered Agent, is a company or person, residing in the state where you are going to register a business, that has a physical address in the state and is open during business hours, and accepts legal service and notices from the Secretary of State on behalf of a Corporation or LLC. States require business entities to have registered agents or registered offices. When you file for a Corporation or LLC, part of the process requires you to appoint a Registered Agent (also called Resident Agent, Statutory Agent or Agent for Service of Process). The Registered Agent is an official contact for your company. States will send notices to the Registered Agent or the company owner.
