Should I be my own Registered Agent if I can't be available during business hours?
At Taylor Registered Agent Services, we recommend hiring an registered agent if you can't be available during business hours to accept legal notices in person at the location listed on your public documents.
What is the Service of Process?
Is the delivery of a legal notice (summons or subpoena) to an individual or a business. These legal notices require a timely response and specific actions from the recipient such as producing documents, ceasing an activity, or appearing in court.
When the recipient is a business entity, service of process goes to the company's designated registered agent. (If a business is receiving a lawsuit, a process server will deliver a summons to the company's registered agent).
What are the requirements to be your own registered agent?
Office - which is the business physical address in the state where they receive and accept service of process called the registered office.
Residency - Registered Agent must reside in the state where they serve as a registered agent or a business approved to provide registered agent service in the state. Businesses providing registered agent service in the state must maintain a physical address in the state.
Availability - The registered agent must be available to accept documents and official mail during normal business hours.
Consent - Registered Agents must consent and accept responsibility to being designated a registered agent.

Registered Agent Service
What is a Registered Agent?
A Registered Agent is an adult or authorized business that's around during normal business hours to accept mail or hand delivered court documents on your behalf. A registered agent is your business official point of contact with the state. We give you that reliable way for your business to be contacted - required by the state. A Registered Agent must have a physical address - not a P.O. Box address - in the same state where your business is formed, and available during business hours. With Taylor Registered Agent Service you get the use of our Virtual Office, giving you the Privacy you're looking for. North Carolina requires an entity such as an LLC to appoint a Registered Agent on their Formation documents known as the Articles of Organization to be filed with the state. This is the value of using our service, where your formation documents become public records, you list our address for that extra layer of privacy.
Can I use my registered agent service as my business address?
Yes, at Taylor Registered Agent Services, we provide you with our physical address, which can be used as your business address.
Should I be my own Registered Agent?
Yes, you or any business that meets the states registered agent requirements, are allowed to be a company's registered agent. You are required to have a registered agent, but you can be your own registered agent, a registered agent is simply a person or entity appointed to accept service or process and official mail on your business's behalf. A registered agent service is compliant for due process, a lawsuit against your business in court which cannot move forward without a business being properly notified. If you list yourself as the registered agent, you will probably list your home address, which makes your home address public records. At Taylor Registered Agent Service we give your business a physical business address that can be used on all official records. Our office is open during business hours so you don't have to be available during business hours. Every state your business operates in you will need a registered agent.
