Connecticut Registered Agent
Every formal business entity in Connecticut (LLCs, corporations, LPs, LLPs, etc.) is required by state law to appoint a registered agent. Connecticut registered agents accept service of process on behalf of the business to which they’ve been appointed to serve. In lay terms, that means Connecticut registered agents are who receives notice of a lawsuit when a business entity like an LLC or corporation is sued. That is their primary purpose, but it’s not a Connecticutregistered agent’s only duty. Registered agents in Connecticut also receive annual reports, tax notifications, and other important mail from the state.
In short, Connecticut registered agents are a Connecticut business entity’s official point of contact.
