Business Website LLCRadar.com Has Just Published a New Guide on Registered Agents for 2023

Plano, Texas, August 1, 2023. Business website LLC Radar has just published a 2023 guide titled, What is a Registered Agent?

LLC Radar’s Brian Wilson explains,

A registered agent, also known as a statutory agent or agent for service of process, is a designated individual or entity that is responsible for receiving important legal documents, official correspondence, and service of process on behalf of a business entity.

The registered agent acts as a point of contact between the business and the state government.

Here are some key points about registered agents for LLCs and Corporations:

Legal Requirement: Most jurisdictions require business entities such as corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and partnerships to have a registered agent. It is a legal requirement to maintain an active registered agent for the duration of the entity’s existence.

Address and Availability: The registered agent must have a physical address (not a P.O. Box) in the state where the business is registered. This address is where legal documents and official notices, such as lawsuits, tax forms, and annual reports, are delivered. The registered agent must be available during regular business hours to accept these documents.

Public Contact: The registered agent’s name and address are publicly available and listed in the public records of the state. This ensures that individuals or entities who need to serve legal documents or send official correspondence can easily find and communicate with the business entity.

Legal Compliance: The registered agent plays a crucial role in ensuring that the business remains in compliance with state requirements. They receive important notifications regarding annual reports, tax filings, and other compliance-related documents and forward them to the appropriate individuals within the business.

The primary purpose of a registered agent is to ensure that legal documents and official communications are promptly and properly received by the business entity.
