All Nevada entities require a Resident Agent (also called Registered Agent) to accept official documents on behalf of the entity in the event a claim should be filed against the entity. The Resident agent must be a resident of the state of incorporation/organization and maintain a physical address in that state. The Resident Agent must be available to accept service of process on behalf of the entity during regular business hours. The Resident Agent also maintains copies of the required entity documentation and receives correspondence from the Secretary of State.

Although it is possible to act as your own Resident Agent, this can cause problems. First of all, you lose the flexibility to close your office at will as it is necessary to always be open during regular business hours to accept service of process. In addition, a Resident Agent will allow you to avoid the embarrassment of being served legal documents in front of clients, vendors, or employees.

As your Resident Agent, the Esquire Group would notify you when filings become due so that you do not incur any charges for late filings that would cause your charter to go into default or worse, be revoked. If your Nevada entity conducts business outside of the state of Nevada , it is likely that you will have to have a Resident Agent in every state where you conduct business or have a permanent establishment. Additionally, as your Resident Agent, the Esquire Group can also help you resolve issues related to existing delinquent filings.
