A registered agent is an individual or authorized business hired to receive legal documents such as court summons, and tax and regulatory notices on behalf of a business. Most states require that lawsuits be hand-delivered, and therefore a registered agent must have a physical address and also be available during normal business hours to receive these legal documents. You can also designate yourself or your business as a registered agent. If your business has locations in different states, you must have a registered agent in each one of those states.

The answer to this question varies based on your state’s licensing board and your type of profession—some states require that you form an LLC, while others require that you form a corporation. Please contact your state’s licensing board directly to find out the requirements for your profession.

Yes. A corporation can own another corporation and can purchase it using the first corporation's stock. This is yet another advantage of owning a corporation. In fact, under current IRS regulations, even subchapter S corporations (S-Corps) can own and control major portions of affiliated companies.
