Do I really need a Registered Agent?

Yes. Every state requires every LLC, Corporation, and similar entity to designate a Registered Agent. Without one in good standing, the state may suspend or dissolve your entity, and lawsuits can be served by publication, which is hard to defend.

Can I be my own Registered Agent?

In most states, yes, but it is rarely a good idea. Your name and home address go on the public state record, you have to be available at that address during business hours every day, and Service of Process gets delivered at potentially awkward times. A professional Registered Agent solves all three problems.

What is Service of Process?

Service of Process is the formal delivery of a lawsuit, subpoena, or similar legal document to your business. Missing service can result in a default judgment against you. Service is one of the main reasons a reliable Registered Agent matters.

How quickly will I see mail when it arrives?

Mail received by 4 PM local time is opened, scanned, and uploaded to your account by 6 PM. Service of Process and other urgent documents trigger an immediate SMS and email alert. You can also choose to have originals forwarded weekly.

Does this include foreign qualification?

Foreign qualification (registering to do business in a state other than your formation state) is a separate filing, but we pair it with Registered Agent service in that state automatically. On Growth and Enterprise, both services are included at no additional cost.

What happens if I have multiple entities?

On Starter, you pay per entity per state. On Growth and Enterprise, all of your entities in all of your states are covered under one subscription. The Compliance Suite tracks every filing across every entity from one dashboard.
