What is a Resident Agent Service?
Understanding Resident Agent Services
What is a Resident Agent Service and why does your business need one? A resident agent service allows your business to appoint an authorized person or entity to act as the official point of contact between your business and the state. Your appointed resident agent must be located in the state where your business primarily operates. A resident agent is responsible for accepting and forwarding legal documents such as summons, complaints, annual report notices, compliance notices, and tax forms. A P.O. Box cannot act as a resident agent because someone must be able to physically accept legal documents during regular business hours.
