Changing Nevada Registered Agents
Whether you change your Nevada registered agent services for customer satisfaction, your agent resigns, or you want to be your own agent, you can follow the steps below to make the change.
Changing Your Registered Agent When Using a Professional Service
If you are hiring a new agent, they will file the necessary paperwork for you.
The benefits of using a professional service are:
- Less Risk: A professional service will ensure that you don’t miss important legal notices (e.g., service of process, etc.), tax forms, and other documents like the annual list.
- More Flexibility: A service will always be present to receive service of process during normal business hours so that you don’t have to be. Many limited liability companies chose a commercial registered agent for this reason.
- Privacy: If you act as your own agent, your name and address will become public record. Using a service will help keep your information private. You’ll also avoid receiving lawsuit-related documents in front of your clients.
- Peace of mind: Using a service allows you to focus on running and growing your business.
