A question most potential LLC owners ask is, “Can I set up an LLC on my own?” Yes, but regardless of your LLC’s location, you need a registered agent and a registered office because of due process.
A registered agent is an individual who will receive legal and other documents on behalf of your business, such as subpoenas, regulatory and tax notices, and correspondence.
In most states, if someone wants to sue you, the court cannot proceed until it has served you. And for that, you need a registered address and be open during regular business hours and available to the public.
Depending on your state laws, you could nominate yourself or appoint your business to act as its own registered agent.
If you want to hire a registered agent service and reduce your paperwork, finding one isn’t difficult. Still, sourcing a legitimate one at a reasonable price can be.
