Nevada is a popular state for businesses, thanks to its favorable tax policies and corporate laws. However, one critical requirement for all Nevada businesses is to maintain a registered agent. While any individual residing in Nevada can serve as a registered agent, choosing a local law firm like Reisman Sorokac can provide essential benefits. In this article, we explain the role of a registered agent, why it is legally required, and the advantages of having our firm serve as your Nevada registered agent.

What is a Registered Agent?

A registered agent is a person or business entity authorized to receive important legal and official documents on behalf of a company. This includes legal notices, complaints, tax notifications, and government correspondence. In Nevada, a registered agent is required for all business entities, including LLCs, corporations, and partnerships. Essentially, the registered agent acts as your business’s official point of contact in the state.

Why is a Registered Agent Required?

Nevada law requires all businesses to maintain a registered agent to ensure they can be contacted for legal and regulatory matters. Upon formation, a business is required to designate a registered agent with the Nevada Secretary of State. The registered agent can be changed at any time by submitting the proper form with the Nevada Secretary of State. Failing to maintain a registered agent can lead to serious consequences, including, missing legal notices, losing good standing with the state, and/or the payment of fines. Having a reliable registered agent is essential for maintaining compliance and protecting your business.
