A Registered Agent is a person or company designated to receive legal mail (like service of process) on behalf of your business. Their primary role is to provide an official and reliable way to contact your business. If your business is ever served with a lawsuit, the process server will deliver the paperwork directly to your registered agent. At that point, your business is legally considered “served.”
The registered agent should then forward your mail quickly and securely. Registered agents are legally required for businesses, and anyone can serve as your agent as long as they meet certain requirements. At a minimum, this includes providing a physical address (for public record) where the agent can receive mail during business hours.
