What is a registered agent?

A registered agent is your business’s designated person or entity responsible for receiving important legal documents and official notices, like subpoenas or tax notifications. This role acts as the link between your business and the state, ensuring you’re promptly informed of legal actions, compliance requirements, and other critical information.

Why are registered agents required?

Every LLC or corporation is legally required to have a registered agent to ensure the state can reliably deliver legal and compliance documents. Acting as your own agent may compromise privacy, as it requires your personal details to be public, and demands constant availability, which can distract from running your business.

What does a registered agent do?

Expect your registered agent to:

  • Maintain a physical location within your state for accepting certified mail
  • Keep regular business hours
  • Accept service of process and official mail on your behalf
  • Promptly notify and forward documents to you

The perks of having a registered agent—why you want one

Registered agent services are essential for businesses of all sizes to maintain compliance and protect their operations. Here’s how they can bring peace of mind to your operations:

A registered agent ensures your business stays compliant by receiving and forwarding critical legal and government documents on your behalf.

Business Continuity

A registered agent is available during standard business hours to receive important notices, ensuring you never miss key documents, even when you’re unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a registered agent?

A registered agent is a person or entity designated to receive official legal and tax documents on behalf of a business. This includes service of process, important government notifications, and compliance-related documents. A registered agent is required by law for registered business entities like LLCs and corporations.

Can I be my own registered agent?

Yes, you can serve as your own registered agent if you have a physical address (not a P.O. box) in the state where your business operates. You must be available during all regular business hours. However, using a professional registered agent service can free up your time and offer additional privacy and reliability.

How do I choose a registered agent?

Consider reliability, privacy, professionalism, and the ability to efficiently handle and forward important documents. Also, make sure the agent you choose has a good reputation and is familiar with state legal and compliance requirements.

How much does a registered agent cost?

Costs vary depending on the state and the services provided. Generally, professional registered agent services are affordable and offer different service packages to meet needs and budgets.

When should I appoint my registered agent?

It’s best to appoint a registered agent at the time of forming your business or registering the business entity, such as your LLC or corporation. Most states won’t recognize or approve your business’s formation if you have not yet designated a registered agent.

What happens if I don’t have a registered agent?

Failing to maintain a registered agent can lead to serious consequences, including the potential for your business to be in bad standing with the state. This can result in fines, penalties, or even the dissolution of your business. It’s smart to appoint a professional registered agent.

How do I change my registered agent to Epik if I already have one?

It’s easy! When you sign up for Epik’s registered agent service, we handle the entire process for you. We file the necessary paperwork with your state to update your registered agent and cover the state filing fee, ensuring a smooth transition.
