No matter where you’re starting your business, if you’re forming an LLC or corporation, you’re required to have a registered agent and a registered office. But this doesn’t mean you need to hire a registered agent service.

The registered agent for service of process can be anyone. It can be a service hired to fill the role, an outside person, the business owner, or an employee.
Do you have to put LLC on Your Logo?
While the logo will most likely not have the designator, the text should indicate the business is a registered legal entity. Not only a benefit from a legal standpoint, using the full business name indicates the company is an LLC and customers are more likely to see it as a more credible and legitimate business.

Who is the registered agent for a LLC?
What this means is that if you are forming an LLC, you, or someone you know, can serve as your LLC’s Registered Agent. Some states require a written and signed consent form (known as a Registered Agent Consent to Appointment, or similar name) be on file with the Secretary of State’s office.
Can a LLC be registered without a comma?
However, in reference to an LLC that is in existence, the official company name as it is registered (with or without the comma) is what should be used. As explained above, it is legally acceptable to register your limited liability company either with, or without, a comma before the designation “LLC” or “L.L.C.”
