If you own a business in Nevada but do not reside here, you are required by law to hire a registered agent who does live in the state. Even if you do live locally, it can still benefit your company to employ a registered agent to take care of sensitive matters in your absence.

What a Registered Agent Does

A registered agent for your company in Nevada receives all state, federal, and legal documents as a proxy during normal business hours throughout the week. He or she is at a separate location than your establishment in order to acquire the information. A registered agent accepts paperwork for litigation proceedings as well as other sensitive material you may not want to be delivered to your actual place of business.

Why Your Business Needs a Registered Agent

Even if you are available to receive documents yourself in person, a registered agent can save your business’s reputation during trying times. For example, even if the lawsuit is frivolous and eventually thrown out of court, if a potential client sees you getting served with a subpoena at your company, he or she may have doubts about doing business with you. Plus, as your company grows, the time it takes to accept paperwork is better spent on other commercial ventures when a registered agent in Nevada can do it for you.

How to Choose a Reputable Registered Agent

There is no requirement to  become a business’s agent for the state. You can essentially hire anyone you want for the job as long as you notify the office of the secretary. However, if you do not have connections in the state to help you find a trustworthy person, consult a local law firm for advice and recommendations. You do not want your personal company business in the wrong hands.
