What a Resident Agent Does for Your Business
Starting a business in the Old Line State? Maryland Code Title 2 § 2-108 legally obligates Maryland LLCs and corporations to designate a Maryland resident agent on their formation paperwork, and to maintain one to remain in good standing.
Your resident agent plays a critical role in the success of your business. They’re physically present during ordinary business hours to make sure you get important documents like official mail from the state and legal notices including service of process. Official state mail can include items like compliance reminders and tax notifications, which help you stay on top of statutory requirements for your business. Correct handling of service of process is crucial to your ability to respond to pending lawsuits or other court orders.

We scan and upload your documents the same day we receive them so that you can be prompt in response to legal notices or state reminders. And, we’ll process your order the same day it arrives—the state wait times are long enough!
