Registered Agent: What Should I Know?

What is a Registered Agent?

A Registered Agent is a required point of contact between your business and the state. They receive official documents like state notices, legal correspondence, and compliance reminders on your behalf, ensuring your business never misses something important.

Do I need a Registered Agent for my business?

Yes. Every LLC or corporation is legally required to maintain a Registered Agent in the state(s) where they operate. Without one, your business can fall out of good standing, face penalties, or even be administratively dissolved.

Can I be my own Registered Agent?

Technically yes—but it often creates problems. Acting as your own Registered Agent means your personal address becomes public record, you must be available during business hours, and you risk missing critical documents. Most business owners choose a professional service for privacy, reliability, and peace of mind.

Why use Firstep as my Registered Agent?

Firstep goes beyond simply receiving mail. We proactively track compliance, notify you of important deadlines, and integrate Registered Agent support with your broader business systems—so compliance is handled automatically, not reactively. With Firstep, you get a long-term partner that helps protect your business while freeing you to focus on growth.
