Why Should You Change Registered Agents?
A firm may choose to change its registered agent for a variety of reasons, including:
Changing from an Individual Agent to a Registered Agent Service: While people (even a company’s own executives or employees) may operate as registered agents, they will be publicly listed in the state’s database. Some individuals may see this as an invasion of their privacy. Registered agents must also be accessible at their office between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, which might be inconvenient. These concerns are resolved by switching to a registered agent service.
Business Expansion into New States: LLCs, corporations, and other formal business formations must have a registered agent in each state where they do business. Not all registered agents are authorized to act as a registered agent in every state. Some companies would rather have the same registered agent in each state than multiple separate ones.
Customer Contentment: Some changes occur simply because a firm is dissatisfied with its present registered agent, whether the issue is one of pricing, customer service, or job quality.
