Most states require corporations and LLCs to designate a registered agent, sometimes called registered office, within the state of incorporation. So if you have a limited liability company incorporated in a state, you will need to have a registered agent. For that purpose, you can engage a registered agent service.

You may be asking what is a registered agent and what services will your registered agent Florida do for your LLC. Registered agents are individuals or companies responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents, including service of process (also called notice of litigation) documents, franchise tax forms and annual report forms. This will ensure that all official documents coming from the state government will be delivered to you without delay.

Your llc registered agent should have a street address in your state of incorporation, but a post office box address is not acceptable. Most states do not allow a corporation to act as its own registered agent, but you can designate a director or officer, acting in an individual capacity, to be one.

Most companies use a registered agent service provider. If you hired an incorporation service provider when you first incorporated your business, you can probably engage that firm to be your registered agent: many incorporation service providers are also registered agent service providers.

A professional registered agent service provider will ensure that all important matters between you and the state are handled promptly. Some firms operate websites and you can access your account at any time. The firms also scan any legal notices before sending the actual documents to you. The scanned record allows you online access to the document.

Remember that your llc registered agent’s primary purpose is to enable third parties, especially the government, to find your company for service of legal and official processes. Make sure that the agent will serve your interests well.
