Q: Does my business have to designate a Registered Agent?
A: Any entity conducting business must register to do business in that state, and my also have to designate a registered agent in that state as well. A registered agent may be required depending on the jurisdiction in which a company is incorporated or foreign qualified.

A: A Registered Agent acts as the representative for accepting Service of Process served upon the company. Service of Process is broadly construed to include any legal proceeding, legal notice, or official government communication presented to the company while it is within the jurisdiction of a state.

Q: What happens if my company fails to register or designate and maintain a Registered Agent?
A: The failure to register and designate a registered agent may foreclose or hinder the company's ability to legally enter into contracts and gain access to the state courts. Moreover, it may subject the company to monetary, civil, and possibly criminal sanctions. Also, failure to maintain a registered agent may cause a company to fall out of "good standing" within the state. This will subject your license to do business within a state to forfeiture, with monetary penalties assessed to reinstate your company to a "good standing" again.
