"Registered office" simply means that the agent must reside
at a physical location in Washington with a street or rural route
address. A post office box alone does not meet the legal requirements.
As long as you
must comply with this law, you might as well get 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 and 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 at the right spot if you
need help.
Thus, with the
registered agents and registered office provided by
you meet the requirements of the law, but you also have access to
other corporate and legal services. For example,we can assist you
with trade and service marks and, especially in the Northwest, we
can help setup an extra-provincial corporation in Canada. Your resident
agent in Washington most likely will be the only lawyer contact
you have in the State. If you have state-specific legal or regulatory

Our Washington
resident agent and registered office also provides:
A separate address for your corporation or limited liability company.
Your company may never be sued, but 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.
Promoters and sales people often use an agent's address for initial
contact. With our service, you can avoid exposing yourself, an employee
or friend to undesired solicitation. They're getting enough solicitation
as it is. We forward only what you must receive.
Timeliness in receiving important documents is crucial. We know
this and our procedures and high-speed scanning service eliminate
burdensome financial costs of delay, hesitation, procrastination
or uncertainty on the part of persons unfamiliar with litigation
and reporting requirements.
If your limited liability company or corporation fails to maintain
a registered agent and a registered office in Washington or if your
company fails to comply with other state laws, your good standing
as a business entity can be jeopardized. If you want us to, we are
in a position to help you stay on the right side of the law, which
might otherwise be difficult even if you give the matter your best
attention and commitment.
The bottom line,
considering that you must have a registered agent in Washington,
you need our service affording quality and dependability --- and
it remains a bargain at $99 per year.
