Registered Agent ServicesIf you are looking for registered agent services in California, you’ve found them. As an attorney, I provide the service via my office in Del Mar to businesses throughout California.What is a registered agent? It is the physical person that receives the service of legal documents on behalf of a business entity, typically a corporation or limited liability company. How It Works When a party wishes to serve official legal documents on a business entity, they will serve them upon the resident agent. At that point, I would then contact you and forward the documentation. You would then need to respond to the legal notice. Advantages The advantage of using an independent registered agent is really two fold. First, the name of the agent is a matter of public record. Most people prefer to keep their names off of such lists. Second, lawsuits are often served by obnoxious individuals who revel in making a scene or sheriffs in uniform. Many businesses prefer to avoid having either of these individuals showing up at their office and causing a scene. Business Address Can you use my office address as your business address? No. A primary business office is entirely different than registered agent services. If you are in need of an office address, you should take a look at the executive office packages that are readily available throughout the state. Fee I charge an annual fee of $250 to act as a registered agent. The fee is due upfront. If you would like to learn more, please contact me to discuss your particular situation.
