Appointing a trusted Registered Agent for your Utah business is the first step in safeguarding it and helping to keep it in good standing with the state.
And whether your Utah business is operating as an LLC or corporation, it will need to have a Registered Agent who is present and physically located in the state of Utah.
Based in beautiful Cedar City, Main Street Business Services provides Utah’s hardworking small business owners with Registered Agent Service that is affordable and second-to-none in reliability and efficiency.
Use our Cedar City address and office to receive critical legal notices, including service of process. Plus, gain the peace of mind of having our address instead of your personal or business address listed publicly with the Secretary of State, giving you an essential layer of privacy protection.
The state of Utah legally requires all business entities to have an appointed Registered Agent to receive formal legal notices on behalf of the entity.
These formal notices may include subpoenas and other formal legal documents that require your attention and are often time-sensitive. Failure to respond to these notices, even accidentally, could jeopardize the good standing of your business and may even result in costly fines and penalties.
The simple answer to this question is yes. However, there are a few important factors to consider before you assume the responsibility of serving as your own Registered Agent for your Utah business.
First, a Registered Agent is required to be available during standard business hours, Monday through Friday, to accept any service of process. Therefore, if you choose to be your own Utah Registered Agent, you must ensure that you, or someone else, is available each day during standard business hours at the address listed for your Utah Registered Agent.
Additionally, suppose you use your home or business address for your Utah Registered Agent. In that case, you leave this information exposed and easily accessible to anyone, since it is listed on the Utah Secretary of State website. In some cases, this could unintentionally lead to unwanted visitors showing up at your home or place of business.
For most successful Utah business owners, appointing Main Street Business Services as their Registered Agent provides them with peace of mind and convenience, allowing them to dedicate more of their time and focus on building their business.
No. While a P.O. Box or a mailbox service like The UPS Store may be a helpful option for receiving standard mail, it cannot be used for the purpose of your appointed Registered Agent.
Your Registered Agent must have a person located at a physical address where a signature is also required upon receipt of any service of process. Most P.O. Box and mailbox service providers are not authorized to act as a Registered Agent for businesses. Therefore, in some instances, attempting to utilize one of these providers as a Registered Agent could result in having your business shut down by the Utah Secretary of State.
The appointed Registered Agent for your Utah LLC or corporation is primarily responsible for accepting service of process on behalf of your business.
This may include, but not be limited to, any of the following:
Each of these notices requires a signature by an adult upon receipt, which serves as a timestamped confirmation of acceptance.
Because of the time sensitivity and urgent nature typically associated with these notices, having a professional Registered Agent, such as Main Street Business Services, appointed to receive them on behalf of your Utah LLC or corporation significantly reduces the risk of failing to respond or taking the appropriate action required on your part as the business owner.
In addition to our Utah Registered Agent Service, we provide Utah small business owners with comprehensive compliance and privacy solutions that allow them to dedicate more time to growing and running their businesses.
