U.S. CET Corporation - What is a Registered Agent?

A registered agent, also known as a resident agent or statutory agent, in United States business law, is a business or
individual designated to receive service of process (SOP) when a business entity is a party in a legal action such as a
lawsuit or summons. The registered agent“s address may also be where the state will send the paperwork for the yearly
renewal of the business entity“s charter. The registered agent for a business entity may be an individual member of the
company, or (more often) a third party, such as the organization“s lawyer or a service company. Failure to properly
maintain a registered agent can affect a company negatively.

The Importance of a Registered Agent

Imagine the consequences of not having a registered agent. How do you give notice to something that only exists on a
piece of paper? On a more practical level, how does a state (i.e. Delaware) give notice to a corporation who is merely
registered in that state but has all of its business activity done outside the state? The registered agent eliminates these
concerns. Any paperwork and declarations from the state, such as annual report and franchise tax forms, is sent directly
to the registered agent. Any service of process for any lawsuit or other legal action is also sent to the registered agent.

As a benefit to the corporation or LLC, the registered agent acts as the administrative link with the state. The registered
agent is required to forward all documents and notices to the corporation and often provides a service to report whether
or not the corporation or LLC is in „Good Standing“ with the state. With a corporation potentially conducting business in
many different states, the corporation may have a hard time keeping track of legislative changes and report due dates,
and so the registered agent becomes a crucial component in navigating through these administrative hurdles.
