Choosing a Registered Agent
A registered agent ensures you get legal notices, helps avoid penalties and is available during business hours. When finding an agent, look for an established company with positive reviews and experience with LLC services.
Self-Representation in Minnesota
A registered agent is required for business entities in Minnesota. You must:
- Reside in Minnesota or be a corporation/LLC authorized to do business there
- Have a physical Minnesota address to accept service of process during business hours
As the owner, you can be your own registered agent by listing your name and address on the LLC formation documents, but this makes your personal address public. The registered agent must be available during normal business hours.
Considerations
You can serve as your own registered agent, but non-residents cannot. They must enlist a Minnesota resident. Consider the public disclosure and availability requirements before deciding to be your own registered agent. Using a professional service may suit your needs better.
