Here are some of the reasons why you need a Registered Agent.

The first and most important reason is it's a state requirement for all Corporations and LLCs located or doing business in the state of California. The reason the state requires you to maintain a Registered Agent is for (SOP) service of process.

What is a Registered Agent?

A Registered Agent is an agent that receives important documents on your entities behalf, which sometimes can be tax and or state documents. A Registered Agents main purpose is handling (SOP) service of process. In the case you entity may be a party in a legal mater your Agent will be forwarding all legal notices they receive on your behalf to you (the client). For your protection the state requires you to keep a current address with your Registered Agent, this is important because you don�t want your Agent to have any problem in getting time sensitive materials to you.

One of the advantages you have with this is it is much easier to notify your Registered Agent if your address has changed versus notifying the state and if you are a company that doesn�t have a physical business location this is very convenient not to mention no one likes the embarrassment of being served in person.
