Ohio Registered Agents

Ohio Registered Agent Services

Overview

According to Ohio law, almost every entity doing business in Ohio must maintain a statutory agent (registered agent) and registered office.

What Ohio Registered Agents Do:

The registered agent accepts service of process, notices and official mail that is served on the business entity at the registered office. The Ohio registered agent is obligated by law to forward those important documents to the business entity’s last known address.

Registered Agent’s Inc. takes this commitment seriously. You rely on your Ohio registered agent to not only meet statutory requirements, but to give you fast and easy access to your important documents.

Why Ohio Registered Agents are Important:

Not only is the registered agent requirement mandatory under state law, it serves a very real purpose. When you do business in Ohio, or any other state, that state will expect that your business can be contacted and or served legal documents. If your Ohio registered agent fails to receive or forward your documents and you fail to respond to a lawsuit, you could face major legal troubles, including default judgment. It is imperative to have an Ohio registered agent you trust.
