A registered agent is a person or company that is officially designated to receive legal documents and government notices on behalf of a business entity, such as an LLC or corporation.

​

What they do:

• Receive lawsuits (aka service of process)

• Get official mail from the Secretary of State

• Accept tax documents or compliance notices​

​

Why it's required:

All U.S. states require businesses to have a registered agent in the state where they’re formed or operate. It ensures the state can reliably reach your business for legal and regulatory matters.
