As the owner of a Delaware limited liability company, you understand the significance of keeping your address up to date. Otherwise, the Division of Corporations could dissolve your LLC if they cannot reach you directly.
No matter if you are starting up or expanding, having an LLC address in Delaware is vital to the success of any company.
Business Address
When creating a Delaware LLC, the following must be accomplished. First and foremost is providing your physical business address as this will serve as the address at which customers and potential clients will send mail for service or visits from potential investors and clients. Secondarily it serves as your company’s central location from which decisions will be made and employees work.
When selecting an address for your business, ensure it’s located in an industrial or commercial district for maximum professionalism. This will give your firm an air of reliability.
Your clientele, customers and employees should find it convenient to access. Spending too much time driving between meetings can waste valuable resources.
Furthermore, you should be available during normal business hours to sign for official documents and correspondence from the state – this could prove difficult if you travel frequently or work odd hours.
At your Delaware address, having a registered agent who can keep track of filing documents can help your business flourish more easily and enable you to focus on expanding its operations. Furthermore, registered agents store certified copies of corporate documents should they become lost or stolen.
Registered Agent Address
Registered agent addresses must be listed on company formation documents (LLCs and corporations) filed in Delaware. While having one isn’t required, having one could help protect your business in case it needs to contact the state for any reason.
Your registered agent is an individual or company who agrees to accept legal mail on behalf of your LLC, such as service of process if there are lawsuits brought against it and state correspondence such as annual report reminders or tax notifications.
The registered agent must reside or maintain an office within Delaware. Furthermore, they should be available during business hours to receive official mail on behalf of your LLC and sign for official mail that comes for them as required.
Contact Person Address
One of the key elements of an LLC is having a point of contact. Usually this person will receive any necessary paperwork that needs to be filed with the state.
Your Delaware LLC filing paperwork should include information on its point of contact or Registered Agent. This information will become part of public record and should you need a process server, they will require this address as part of their service process.
Many people form their LLC in Delaware because it offers greater anonymity. Unlike in other states, no annual reports need to be filed so the identity of members and managers does not need to be disclosed in public records.
Use of professional Registered Agent services can help protect your privacy by taking care of forming your LLC with absolute confidentiality, issuing Certificates of Incumbency that identify members and managers with legal authority to legally operate and sign contracts, open bank accounts etc.
Registered Agent Service
If you are forming an LLC or corporation in Delaware, appointing someone as your registered agent is mandatory. This person should be available to receive service of process (lawsuit-related documents) on behalf of your business and forward them on.
An individual, family member, or company may act as your registered agent; therefore it’s essential that all factors be taken into consideration prior to making this important decision.
Finding an appropriate service should be reliable and cost-effective; additionally, look for one with knowledge of Delaware law and compliance requirements.
