A registered agent is a person or company designated to receive important legal and tax documents on behalf of your business. Every state requires LLCs and corporations to have a registered agent with a real street address in the state of formation.

Using a professional registered agent service provides several benefits:

• Compliance: Ensures your business stays in good standing by receiving and handling state correspondence, legal notices, and tax documents.

• Privacy: Keeps your personal home address off public records by providing a professional address.

• Reliability: A dedicated service is always available during normal business hours to receive documents on time.

• Convenience: Mail is securely handled and forwarded, giving you peace of mind.

With a trusted provider like Ecompanion, you can easily appoint a registered agent when forming your LLC or corporation, or switch your existing agent without hassle. Their service helps you maintain compliance, protect your privacy, and focus on running your business while they handle the official paperwork.
