Do You Need A Registered Agent For Your Business?

What Is A Registered Agent?

• As a business owner, youll have plenty of
  responsibilities to keep you occupied, so you may
  not want to add on the burden of selecting and
  registering an official registered agent. Most
  states dont require it if your business is
  relatively small or if you use an online
  registered agent service to handle that part of
  the job for you. Heres how to tell if your
  business needs a registered agent and when it
  makes sense to hire one.

A registered agent is an individual or company
that has been appointed by the state to accept
service of process on behalf of another. This
means they will receive court papers and legal
documents if someone is suing you and you cant
be found, or if there are any other legal issues
with your company. If you have employees, this
person may also be responsible for handling
payroll taxes, filings with the Labor Department,
and other administrative tasks. Its important to
make sure that your business has a registered
agent because not doing so could mean serious
consequences. For example, if there are lawsuits
filed against your company and nobody is
designated as the registered agent you may never
know about them because nobody will have access
to your address or contact information.
Why Do Business Owners Need A Agent?

When Do You Need ?

• It is not uncommon for business owners to
  overlook the need to have a registered agent.
  Depending on the type of business, you may be
  required to have someone be an agent or attorney
  in fact with the state to serve as your
  registered agent. Furthermore, some company
  registrations require that the registered agent
  resides in a particular state or country. For
  example, if you are doing business as an LLC and
  you reside in California but want to register
  your company in Delaware, then you will need to
  appoint someone who resides in Delaware as your
  registered agent.

A registered agent is used when you are doing
business in another state, but the physical
location of your business does not change. If you
have an office in Nevada and the only reason
youre doing business in California is that
someone there wants to hire you, then you dont
need to register with the state of California.
However, if you open up a second location in
California and begin conducting business there,
then your company will need to register as a
foreign corporation with the Secretary of State.
In this case, it would be best if you hired an
agent who lives and operates out of California to
handle any issues that arise during that time.
How To Find Your Registered Agent

When Does An Agent Change To Becoming Important

• To find your registered agent, you can use the
  Secretary of States website. Click on the Search
  for an Entity tab and select your state from the
  drop-down list. Once selected, enter your
  business name in the search bar at the top of the
  page. If you have multiple entities, add them all
  to your search using commas as delimiters. The
  registered agent will be shown under their
  corresponding entity. The contact information
  will be listed, including the address and phone
  number. The email address will also be included
  if they have one listed. Remember that your
  registered agent must have a physical office
  within the state in which they are acting as an
  agent for you.

An unregistered agent is an individual that
offers services to assist businesses in meeting
requirements of filing or compliance with
governmental agencies. For example, they may be
able to assist you with tax filings, provide
legal advice, or help you comply with some
business registration requirements. Its
important to keep in mind that the individual
themselves does not have to be registered as an
agent with any agency it is the services that
they offer that designate them as unregistered
agents. An unregistered agent may simply be
someone who advises on matters such as tax laws
and regulations.

The Difference Between Registered And Commercial
Agents

• As you grow your business, you may need more than
  one registered agent to help keep things running
  smoothly. But before you decide on who should be
  your next agent, make sure that theyre the right
  fit for your company. Its important that the
  person or company is trustworthy and understands
  the way you work. The best way to find out if
  someone is a good match is by speaking with them
  about their background and specific
  qualifications. Ask about how long theyve been
  in the industry and what their past clients have
  thought of their services. If you cant speak
  with them directly, then review their reviews
  online as well as testimonials from other
  businesses.
