It has been said a registered agent is like fire insurance. You hope you never have to use it, but if you do, you’re very glad you have it.
Who needs a registered agent? A registered agent is the official link between the company you’ve formed and the government officials and private citizens in the state in which you are incorporated. If you incorporate in the state where your business is located, you don’t need a registered agent. But if you incorporate in a state and your business is located elsewhere, you need one.
What does a registered agent do? It provides an official office location to which franchise tax payment notices and other government notices can be sent on behalf of your company. It is also the official office which receives lawsuit filings from private parties. Without a registered agent to receive legal process on your behalf, you could suffer a default judgment for failing to respond to a lawsuit in time.
When are fees due? Annual Registered Agent Fee must be received prior to the deadline each year. Failure to meet this important deadline will incur additional charges. Annual payments for Delaware corporations are due March 1 of each year. Annual payments for Delaware LLCs are due June 1 of each year.
