Your statutory agent will be in charge of receiving all the important legal documents, from the tax forms to notices on behalf of your LLC.

Can I become the statutory agent of my business?

The answer is yes. If you’re thinking about acting as a statutory agent in your own business, first you must do some research. The foremost thing you have to figure out first is the name of the LLC, so go ahead and list your own name and address on your Ohio Articles of Organization. Keep in mind some useful points if you are the registered agent:

• You’ll have to maintain a normal business schedule, for example, 9 am – 5 pm at the address you will provide to your clients.

• You must keep up, no matter what, on important notices, dates, and deadlines.

After you have completed them you need to proceed to the next step which is the filing in order to make your business legal. You can do it on your own or with the help of a lawyer.

Can I have a professional registered agent service?
