Asked Questions
|

already incorporated...I just need a Registered Agent. Can I sign up
online?

create-A-corp home page or click here |
Why must my
business designate and maintain a Registered Agent?
The law
requires it, plain and simple. Any entity conducting business within a
state must register to do business in that state, designate and maintain
a registered agent, and in some cases a registered office. |
What is the
purpose of a Registered Agent?
Registered
Agent acts as the representative for accepting Service of Process served
upon the company within the jurisdiction of any state where the company
conducts business. Service of Process is broadly construed to include
any legal proceeding, legal notice, or official government communication
presented to the company while it is within the jurisdiction of a state. |
What
happens if my company fails to register or designate and maintain a
Registered Agent?
The
failure, to register and designate a registered agent, may foreclose or
hinder the company's ability to legally enter into contracts and gain
access to the state courts. Moreover, it may subject the company to
monetary, civil, and possibly criminal sanctions. Also, failure to
maintain a registered agent may cause your company to fall out of
"good standing" within the state. This will subject your
license to do business within a state to forfeiture, with monetary
penalties assessed to reinstate your company to a "good
standing" again. |
Who is National
Registered Agents, Inc. and who are their clients?

is a nationwide, professional
Registered Agent. As such, it is fully licensed to act on your behalf in
all fifty states, District of Columbia, and including many international
jurisdictions. NRAI's sole business is to act as Registered Agent for a
variety of business entities comprising of: Business Corporations,
Not-for-Profit Corporations, General Partnerships, Limited Partnerships,
Limited Liability Companies, Tax Haven Corporations, Insurance
Companies, and Banking Companies. NRAI represents literally thousands of
companies large and small throughout the world. |
What types
of Registered Agent Services are provided by NRAI?
NRAI,
acting as registered agent for
your company, also provides a registered office, the forwarding of
Service of Process, tax and regulatory compliance materials, and
official correspondence and communications. |
Why should
I designate a professional Registered Agent?
First
and foremost, the security and peace of mind knowing a professional
Registered Agent is protecting your company. Lawsuits can be ticking
time bombs, fraught with potential liability for your company. Ensuring
each Service of Process is properly received, forwarded to counsel
correctly, and on a timely basis, is the first step in defending against
a default judgment which could foreclose all opportunity to have your
side heard. By appointing a professional organization to handle this
responsibility establishes good business practices.
As
a professional Registered Agent, NRAI is an expert in the field of
statutory representation. Unlike an employee or other individual for
whom acting as registered agent is only one of many responsibilities,
NRAI does not quit, go on vacation, relocate, or die. Since NRAI handles
the Registered Agent responsibilities exclusively for thousands of
business entities, there is never any guess work with the process of
handling a Service of Process. |
Is my
business in control of how NRAI processes matters on its behalf?
Absolutely!
NRAI has established time-tested procedures for handling Service of
Process. NRAI recognizes, however, the procedures for every client may
differ according to the needs of each client. As such, all procedures
are agreed to in advance and in writing, and can only be changed in
writing. This way NRAI will never act on your behalf without your
approval. |
What about
confidentiality between NRAI and my company?
NRAI
has an absolute policy of keeping all client information strictly
confidential. Unfortunately, there are infrequent times, however, when
NRAI is presented with a subpoena legally compelling disclosure of
client information. Under these circumstances, NRAI must disclose
requested information under penalty of law. Rest assured, under such
circumstances, NRAI always consults with the client first. NRAI’s
personnel and their affiliate agents always verify a request for
information is from an authorized source. |
Who
at NRAI handles my company's work?
Each
member of the NRAI staff and the members of the NRAI affiliate offices
are trained professionals, paralegals, or attorneys, highly schooled in
the proper procedures for handling all client matters. In many cases,
NRAI agents are members of prominent law firms. |
How is my
company protected using NRAI?
Accuracy,
quality, value, and client service are NRAI bywords. NRAI maintains full
Errors and Omissions Liability coverage through nationally known
insurance carriers. |
