in a state where you don’t have a physical location. You are legally required to have a registered agent with a physical address (no P.O. Box) in the state of formation. Using a professional registered agent provider helps you satisfy this requirement.
When you qualify your company to transact business in states other than your state of formation, you need a registered agent in each of those states. By using a registered agent service provider, one company is handling this important documentation for you in each state and allowing you to concentrate on your business.
As previously mentioned, the registered agent address is a matter of public record. That means anyone, including marketers, can access it. It is not uncommon for the registered agent to receive a lot of “junk mail” for the business. Using a registered agent provider can reduce the amount of unsolicited mail your business receives.
Running your company is challenging enough without personally handling the necessary minutia. A professional registered agent can often help you by providing online access to your accounts and important documents and assisting with the annual filings states impose on corporations and LLCs.
