What is a registered agent?
The person or company your business names to receive lawsuits and official state notices. Every Florida LLC and corporation must keep one with a physical address in Florida.
Can I be my own registered agent?
Yes, if you have a Florida street address and are reliably there during business hours. Many owners use a service for privacy and so a delivery is never missed.
What if I miss a legal notice?
A missed lawsuit can end in a default judgment, and missed state deadlines can cost your company its active status. A registered agent makes sure nothing slips through.
How long does formation take?
The State of Florida sets processing times. We share the current estimate when you order and post your filed documents to your portal as soon as they are approved.
