Registered Agents come with numerous advantages.
A registered agent accepts official documents on your behalf, which are usually time-sensitive, requiring immediate action or signatures.
Being served a subpoena or a tax notice in front of clients doesn't look good and calls into question your integrity. A Registered Agent protects your image by receiving these sensitive notices on your behalf.
As your business grows and expands, you may need a larger workspace. This can be frustrating because it means changing your address with the state. With a Registered Agent, your mailing address never has to change.
With a registered agent you can avoid committing to a 5-year commercial lease for office space and substantially lower your start-up and operating costs.
Using your home address or P.O. Box can make you look unprofessional, or even fraudulent. With a Registered Agent you get a professional business address that affirms your credibility and instills confidence in your clients.
