We provide quality registered/statutory/resident agent service in all of the United States.

Some facts you should know about a registered agent in Massachusetts:

"registered agent," "statutory agent" and "resident agent" are three names for the same thing: an agent authorized by a company to receive documents and notices. (Since the three terms all refer to a Resident of the state acting as an AGENT, we have coined the term "ragent" to include them all).

Your Massachusetts registered agent may be (1) a domestic company formed under Massachusetts corporate law (2) a foreign corporation authorized to transact business in Massachusetts or (3) an adult individual who resides in Massachusetts. Massachusetts does permit a limited liability company, whether formed in Massachusetts or qualified to do business in Massachusetts, to act as a registered agent in Massachusetts.

It is important to note that a Massachusetts registered agent must have a Massachusetts street address rather than a post office box and that the registered agent must sign a consent to be registered agent and file it with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.

APPOINTING A NEW MASSACHUSETTS REGISTERED AGENT

We welcome newly formed companies, as well as companies previously formed who presently have an overpriced resident agent, or a registered agent whose quality and dependability may be open to question.

If you are forming a new company yourself (or qualifying your company to do business in a new state yourself) and are interested in our registered agent services, just check the first box when you order online. (If you want legal assistance in the formation or qualification process, you may want to contact 4inc.com, which is also affiliated with the Inc.Link® network of corporate professionals.)

If you are an existing company which desires to change its registered agent in Massachusetts, you may do so at any time by completing a change of Massachusetts registered agent form and submitting it to the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth.

When you order online, we take care of filling out this form and sending it to you for signature. Upon its return (signed) to us we will take care of filing this form.

If you would prefer to sign the form first and send it to us so that we may complete it and file it with the Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth, the form for a corporation may be found at http://www.sec.state.ma.us/cor/corpdf/c156ds502s1508950c11321.pdf. Just sign it and get it to us and we will take care of the rest.

To change a registered agent for an LLC you may file an amendment ($100.00 fee), or when you file the annual report ($500.00) you may make the change then as well. CMR's (Commonwealth of Massachusetts Regulations) can be obtained at http://www.lawlib.state.ma.us/cmr.html.

If your present agent is prepaid for a period of time, you can instruct us not to make the change until that period of time has expired.
