Massachusetts uses the term registered agent, but the agent is still a resident agent at a registered office because the agent must reside at a physical location in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The agent is also a statutory agent because his or her function and duties are set in the law of Massachusetts.

There is good reasoning behind anchoring in law the requirement for a registered agent and registered office in the Commonwealth. There must be an actual person residing in Massachusetts to receive important papers so that the Massachusetts courts will have jurisdiction over the business entity. A post office box alone will not accomplish this. In the same way, to ensure your own ability to sue under Commonwealth law, you must either establish a Massachuesetts entity or register as a foreign corporation in the Bay State.

As long as you have to comply with the statutory agent law, you might as well establish the best agency relationship you can --- considering both cost and quality of service. Lawyers know business, business law and common issues in litigation involving businesses. A lawyer or lawyer-managed agent brings that expertise to the table. This doesn't mean free legal service, but it does mean that you are starting in a good place if you need help. With the registered agents and registered offices provided by you meet the requirements of the law, but you also provide your enterprise with legal expertise and experience.

You may never be sued, but it is good to cover contingencies. Should any legal action befall your enterprise, you will want (1) privacy and confidentiality that a designated employee or lay citizen, however discreet, cannot provide and (2) no late night knock at the door by a process server. You do not want your agent to be unreachable either.
