A registered agent ensures you get legal notices, helps avoid penalties and is available during business hours so you don’t have to be. When finding an agent, look for an established company with positive reviews and experience with LLC services.
Acting as Your Own Registered Agent
As the owner, you can be your own registered agent by listing your name and address on the LLC formation documents. However, this exposes your personal address to the public. Most states require a physical street address, not a P.O. box. The registered agent must also be available during normal business hours.
A registered agent’s main roles are to receive legal documents like service of process for the business. This helps maintain legal separation between a business and owners’ personal assets.
Considerations for Non-residents
Non-residents cannot be their own registered agents and must enlist a Minnesota resident. Consider the public disclosure and availability requirements before deciding to serve as your own registered agent. Using a professional service may suit your needs better.
