Resident Agent Mistakes
Selection of resident agents is a crucial part as well when incorporating in Nevada, and some firms make grave mistakes which are detrimental towards their success such as:
1) It has to be thoroughly checked that the resident agent is a commercial registered agent and complied with the Nevada revised statute chapter 77- model registered agents act. However, it is allowed in Nevada to have commercial or non commercial agents and that works both ways, but it is better to select a commercial resident agent as in that case the company would benefit with all the information and updates on legal proceedings and new laws. This also helps companies be in a good standing.
2) Selecting a resident agent in Nevada that has been in business for less than 10 years is not a good idea at all. There are companies that offer resident agent services for cheap prices and startups usually fall prey to these offers. But when there is renewal time and the resident agent’s business is no more in function, it is your company that faces the music.
3) Selecting a resident agent company that only offers resident agent services and no other business offerings is a mistake firms should definitely avoid. Businesses need viable services and products to earn them profits and providing services of resident agent is an additional service that could be provided. Companies that have other core business functions also prove to be good advisory resident agents in terms of investment options and other business needs.
