Why Do I Need a NC Registered Agent?
Every legitimate business entity, both domestic and foreign, is required by law to maintain a registered agent and registered office in order to do business in North Carolina. A registered agent must be designated when you file formation or registration documents with the Secretary of State. Businesses that do not appoint an agent will have their filings rejected.
The Secretary of State enforces this requirement in order to have a reliable contact for every legitimate business operating within the state.
What Do North Carolina Registered Agents Do?
To be a registered agent in NC, you have to:
Be a resident or a company that provides registered agent services.
