Every corporation, LLC, or Limited Partnership must have a registered agent (also known as a “resident agent,” “statutory agent” or “agent of process”) in their state of formation, and in any state the company qualifies to do business in. The registered agent ensures you receive all important legal documents such as service of process (meaning a notice of a lawsuit) and official governmental notices. This is a critical service as it can determine if you win or lose a lawsuit.

How Do Registered Agents Protect Me and My LLC or Corporation?

You want to get notice if you’ve been sued. If you use a discount or poor quality resident agent service, they may not notify you that there’s a lawsuit against you in a timely fashion – or at all. If you use your own personal address as the registered agent address and you’re not home, you may not get notice of a lawsuit. Also, if you don’t set up a registered agent, you could be in violation of the law in many states.

After you are served with a lawsuit notice, you have 30 days to file a typed response with the Court, counting holidays and weekends. In some cases, it may be as few as 20 days. You may wish to hire an attorney to file a typed response with the Court and perhaps begin preparing your defense. If you don’t file a response within this time frame, the person suing you can file a form called “Request for Default,” the Court can enter a judgment against you and the plaintiff will automatically win the case. This can mean getting money from you by garnishing your paycheck or putting a lien on your house or car. A judgment against you can also show up on your credit report. This can make it hard to get a credit card or a loan.

Not receiving notice can cost you a significant amount of money. Don’t leave yourself vulnerable to this when it could so easily be prevented.

50% of Business Owners & Investors Lose This Lawsuit

Having a registered agent is one step that is required to maintain a strong “corporate veil” of protection that protects you from being held personally responsible for lawsuits and claims against your organization.

Shockingly, 50% of business and real estate ventures are losing to one of the most common legal attacks because they fail to protect against court decisions that pierce the veil. This means business and real estate venture owners are being held personally liable for lawsuits against their corporation, LP or LLC, and are vulnerable to losing their possessions.

One of the necessary components to maintaining a strong corporate veil is to ensure that you have a professional, reliable registered agent to receive legal notices on your behalf and notify you immediately.
