A Registered Agent That’s More Than a Name

What is a Registered Agent?

A registered agent is an individual or company that has been designated to receive legal and tax documents on behalf of the organization it represents. In most states, the registered agent must have a physical address in the state where communications can be sent and needs to be available during normal business hours for the receipt of such documents.

Since the majority of states require by statute that businesses have a registered agent, failure to do so can have serious consequences. A business can be involuntarily dissolved by the state affecting the company’s ability to do business in that state and in other states where the company is qualified to do business.

Businesses that operate nationwide or globally generally choose to appoint a professional registered agent service that can also assist with filings and document retrieval.
