What is a Resident/Registered Agent?

A registered agent is a person or business appointed by a Nevada company. It is Nevada law that every Nevada Company filed with the Secretary of State should have a registered agent.

Do you need one?

The law states that if a person sues your Nevada Company, the person suing you must deliver the papers to your Nevada registered agent. Your resident agent plays an important role. When your company gets served with legal papers it is your resident agents’ job to see to it that you respond to it on time.

How well do you know your registered agent?

If your registered agent is on vacation and fails to send you the paperwork, you could be in trouble. If you miss the deadline to respond to the legal papers a default judgment can be entered against your corporation.
