Registered Agent for Illinois Businesses
The Illinois Secretary of State requires all business entities operating in Illinois to identify a registered agent. Registered agents serve as representatives for certain legal matters related to the business, such as accepting service of process. In addition, registered agents are responsible for maintaining compliance with certain state requirements, such as the timely preparation and filing of annual reports. When forming a business entity, you must identify a registered agent. Some business owners act as the registered agent for their business. However, that is not always a good idea, because it can take the business owner’s attention away from operating the business and can even result in an unexpected liability or dissolution of the business entity if the registered agent’s duties are not properly performed. The Business Law Group serves as the registered agent for many of our business clients. In addition, for business clients in our General Counsel Packages, we serve as their registered agent without any additional charge.
