What is a North Carolina Registered Agent?
A North Carolina registered agent is a person (18 or over) or business entity responsible for accepting state and legal mail on behalf of your LLC or corporation. Per state law (NC Gen Stat § 55D-30), your registered agent must also:
- Have a physical North Carolina address.
- Forward documents to you (the business owner) in a timely manner.
- Be available during regular business hours.
In addition, you’ll be required to list your registered agent’s address on public records, such as your business formation document. When you hire us as your North Carolina registered agent, we’ll list our business address (instead of your personal information) on public documents to protect your privacy.
Why is a NC Registered Agent important for my business?
A North Carolina registered agent is important because they provide a reliable and legally required way for the state and courts to deliver mail and official documents to your business.
Your registered agent accepts all legal and state mail of behalf of your business and ensures you receive them in a timely manner so that you can stay compliant with North Carolina law. If legal or state mail is missed, you could miss important deadlines, face penalties, or be held liable without knowing a legal action was filed. The state has the power to even dissolve your business if you are held non-compliant.
North Carolina requires a registered agent to be physically located in the state and available during all normal business hours to accept documents. A dependable registered agent with knowledge of NC business law and service of process helps make sure documents are handled correctly and delivered to you promptly so that you can focus on running your business with confidence.
