It’s totally feasible to serve as your own registered agent or nominate someone you trust—like a member of your LLC or a friend—given they meet these criteria:

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Should have a physical address within the state of business operations
• Must be available during regular business hours for in-person contact

Another option? Hiring a professional registered agent service. Sure, it might cost more than DIY, but the perks outweigh the price tag. Opting for a registered agent service shields you from potential fees or legal hiccups caused by missing crucial documents or notices. Ultimately, this move can save you both time and money in the grand scheme of things.

If you own and/or run a small business, chances are your state requires you to have a registered agent—most do. But even if your state doesn’t, strongly consider getting one. A registered agent is a responsible third-party in the same state as the business, who canreceive service of process notices, correspondence from the Secretary of State, and other official government notifications—usually tax forms and notice of lawsuits—on behalf of the corporation or LLC.

If you’re a small business owner or manager, it’s likely that your state mandates having a registered agent – it’s a common requirement. Even if it’s not explicitly required, it’s strongly advisable to have one. This agent acts as a responsible intermediary, based in the same state as your business, handling official notifications like service of process notices, correspondences from the Secretary of State, and other governmental documents, such as tax forms or legal notices, on behalf of your corporation or LLC.

In cases where your business lacks a physical presence in the registered state, most states necessitate the appointment of a registered agent to accept documents on your behalf. States expect a designated contact person available during business hours, making PO boxes an unacceptable address for registered agents.

An Annual report is a filing that details a company’s activities throughout the prior year. Annual reports are intended to give state governing authorities information regarding the names and addresses of directors or managing members of a corporation or LLC as well as the company and registered agent address. In some state the annual report is filed at a pre determined date for all entities regardless of the date of formation while other states require that the annual report is filed on the anniversary date of formation.

Please note that some states require both an Annual Report to be filed and a Franchise Tax Fee to be paid.

In some states, the annual report is filed on a predetermined date for all entities regardless of the date of formation. Other states require the annual report is filed on the anniversary date of formation. The due dates for corporate annual reports do vary from state to state, so find your filing date from your state’s website and put it in your calendar. If you’re one of our Essential or Comprehensive Support plan members, we automatically take care of the annual filings for your company.

What happens if I don’t file my annual report?

• The consequences of not filing an annual report can be severe. Some states may levy late fees, penalties and taxes. Other states could even involuntarily dissolve your corporation. The filing time is dependent on the governing state agency. Filing times vary by state it is therefore important that the report is filed well in advance of the due date in order to avoid any potential late filing fees.
