What is a registered agent?
Registered agent is a term many business owners have never heard before.
The registered agent is responsible for receiving important legal and tax documents on behalf of incorporated companies, such as the following:
- Service of Process—sometimes called Notice of Litigation—which initiates a lawsuit
- Important state mail, such as annual reports or statements
- Tax documents sent by the state’s department of taxation
The registered agent must have a physical address (not a post office box) in the state of incorporation or qualification and must be available at that address during normal business hours.

Keep in Mind
Service of Process is the document that initiates a lawsuit. Failing to respond in a timely manner can result in default judgment against your company, meaning that a judge can award the full damages sought to the plaintiff. With Creative Business Assistants, you are notified by email of any Service of Process that has been served to Creative Business Assistants as your agent. You can access it online and can easily forward it to your legal counsel.
