What Business Owners Are Saying
"I hired this firm to form my first corporation in the late 90's and have used them several times since for my businesses and family. They offered flat-rate incorporation before it was common. Today I learned they do much more than forming corporations! I definitely recommend them. Ask for Natalia Utrera — it was a pleasure speaking with her."
Alfredo D.

Registered Agent Services FAQ
What is a Registered Agent?
A registered agent is a person or business entity designated to receive service of process, legal documents, tax notices, and other official correspondence on behalf of your business. Every corporation, LLC, and other business entity is required by law to maintain a registered agent in the state where they are formed and in any state where they are registered to do business.
Why do I need a Registered Agent?
State laws require all business entities to have a registered agent with a physical address in the state. The registered agent must be available during normal business hours to receive important legal documents, service of process, tax notices, and compliance reminders. Without a registered agent, your business may face penalties, lose good standing, or even be administratively dissolved.
Can I be my own Registered Agent?
Yes, you can serve as your own registered agent, but there are important considerations. You must have a physical street address (not a P.O. Box) in the state, be available during all business hours, and your address will be publicly available. Many business owners prefer using a professional registered agent service to maintain privacy, ensure reliability, and avoid missing important documents.
What happens if I don't have a Registered Agent?
If your business does not maintain a registered agent, you may face serious consequences including: failure to receive important legal documents (which can result in default judgments), missed compliance deadlines, loss of good standing status, administrative dissolution by the state, and inability to conduct business in the state.
What documents does a Registered Agent receive?
A registered agent receives service of process (lawsuits, subpoenas, summons), tax notices from state and federal agencies, compliance reminders (annual reports, franchise tax notices), official state correspondence, and other legal documents that must be delivered to your business.
How quickly are documents forwarded?
We forward all received documents promptly, typically within 24-48 hours of receipt. Urgent legal documents such as service of process are handled with priority and forwarded immediately to ensure you have adequate time to respond.
Do I need a Registered Agent in every state?
You need a registered agent in your state of formation and in any state where you are registered as a foreign entity (doing business in another state). Each state requires a registered agent with a physical address in that state.
What is the difference between a Registered Agent and a Business Address?
A registered agent is specifically designated to receive legal documents and service of process. A business address is your general business location. While a registered agent must have a physical address in the state, it serves a specific legal function and is separate from your general business operations address.
Can I change my Registered Agent?
Yes, you can change your registered agent at any time by filing the appropriate forms with the state. Most states require a "Change of Registered Agent" form and may charge a filing fee. We can assist you with this process.
What happens if my Registered Agent is unavailable?
If a registered agent is unavailable when service of process is attempted, it can result in serious legal consequences. Professional registered agent services maintain regular business hours and have backup systems to ensure documents are always received and forwarded promptly.
Do Registered Agent services include compliance reminders?
Yes, our registered agent service includes compliance reminders for important deadlines such as annual reports, franchise taxes, and other state-mandated filings. This helps ensure your business maintains good standing and avoids penalties.
How much does Registered Agent service cost?
Registered agent service costs vary by state and package level. Our packages are competitively priced and include service of process receipt, document forwarding, compliance reminders, and ongoing support. Contact us for specific pricing for your state.
