Incorporation Process

The decision to start a new business is both exciting and overwhelming. While many new business owners are focused on the financial requirements of starting a company, legal considerations are also highly important. Do you have a small business that needs to be registered within your county, or are you planning on forming a large corporation that will span over many states and jurisdictions? Depending on what type of company you have and where you see your future growth, you should seek the advice of both an attorney and a tax specialist to determine the best entity structure for your new business.

Registered Agent Service FAQ

Frequently asked questions about registered agents

Do you offer Mail Forwarding?2019-05-24T19:27:26+00:00

A registered agent is not a mail forwarding service. While a registered agent does forward all of your legal documents and state correspondence, the registered agent address is not for all of your business mail.

We suggest setting up a P.O. Box for any mail that you do not want delivered to your physical address. Keep in mind, that you may still need to provide your physical address for registered agent service, but that information will not be listed publicly.

Can I be my own Registered Agent?2019-05-24T19:34:21+00:00

A registered agent can either be a designated person or a commercial registered agent service provider. You cannot list your company as your company’s registered agent because most states require the name of the person that is designated to receive state and legal documents on behalf of the company.

A drawback to using an employee of the company is that a registered agent must be available daily during regular business hours to accept legal documents. What happens if that employee is on vacation? You may miss important services of process documents and risk having a default judgment against your company – an action that can include expensive fines.

Commercial registered agent providers are always available to accept documents and will ensure that you don’t miss any of your important documents!

Do I Need a Registered Agent?2019-05-24T19:42:04+00:00

All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and even international jurisdictions require a designated registered agent listed on the incorporation or formation documents of a company.

In nearly all cases, you must list a person or a commercial registered agent provider. A few states will act as your registered agent; however, the Secretary of State will still need to know who at your company to forward your service of process and legal documents on to.
