Registered Agent Overview
What is a Registered Agent?
Why you Need a Registered Agent
State law declares that every type of company (LLC, Corporation, etc.) must name a Registered Agent.
New Delaware legislation, effective January 1, 2007, states that the Commercial Registered Agent must be a business address that provides services between the Secretary of State and the customer. The Registered Agent has duties to maintain contact information and receive Service of Process. Failure to respond to a lawsuit (Service of Process) in a timely manner will result in a judgment by default and financial liability against the company. Therefore, it is important to choose your Registered Agent on the basis of reliability in addition to low cost.
The Incnow Advantage: Agents and Corporations, Inc. (Incnow.com) is compliant with the new Delaware legislation regarding Commercial Registered Agents. Plus, these reliable services are offered at one-third the cost of other Registered Agents.

Registered Agent Services and Prices
Our Services
Not all Registered Agents are created equal. Our services are managed by attorneys and a trained staff of incorporation specialists with decades of experience helping professionals and entrepreneurs. Since we believe the naming of a Registered Agent is only the beginning of a relationship, we will not only forward official mail and pleadings, but will also be available during business hours to serve clients’ needs.
Customers have often found Agents and Corporations, Inc. to be a very rewarding choice of Registered Agent because of our friendly staff and cutting-edge tools (with examples including our access to the State of Delaware imaging system and our direct T-1 connection to the state’s corporate database).
If you can't decide whether to form an LLC or a Corporation, we can give you background information on the tax consequences of choosing various types of entities and making various tax elections. In limited circumstances, we will also answer questions related to corporate and tax law. (We do not offer advice on securities law.)

Appoint Us Agent
Beware of "back-end" charges that some incorporation services do not advertise or fully disclose. You should pick a registered agent that is professional and affordable. Agents and Corporations, Inc. discloses all fees up-front.
Agents and Corporations, Inc. (Incnow) has been a Registered Agent run by attorneys since 1974. As Registered Agent, we accept legal Service of Process (lawsuits, etc.) and forward it immediately to you so that you can respond on time. As Registered Agent, we send you the State of Delaware Annual Franchise Tax Report to complete and file, so that your company can remain in Good Standing.
The annual Registered Agent fee is $90.00 per year (the first calendar-year Registered Agent fee is included in the formation fee for a Corporation or LLC). Other agents charge as much as $280.00 per year for the same service.
If you file your own Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of LLC Formation, you can appoint Agents and Corporations, Inc. as your Registered Agent by paying $90.00 for the first year and notifying us of your contact information and the name of the Corporation or LLC. If you wish to do this, you should insert the following in the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation or Certificate of LLC Formation:
"The address of its registered office in the State of Delaware and the name of its Registered Agent is Agents and Corporations, Inc., Suite 600, One Commerce Center, 1201 N. Orange Street, Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, 19801."

Change Registered Agent
Why switch to Agents and Corporations, Inc.?
If your Registered Agent charges more than $90 each year, you can change your Registered Agent to Agents and Corporations, Inc. to reduce your annual fee.
After you submit the form online, we will FAX or E-Mail you a Change of Registered Agent Certificate to sign and return so that we can file it and make the change. (Note: to make this change, the State of Delaware charges all Registered Agents an additional $99 filing fee). The total cost of this service is the State of Delaware’s automatic filing fee, plus our (Incnow’s) annual processing fee of $90.00. (Other agents charge as much as $280.00 per year for the same service!)
If you already have a Delaware Registered Agent who charges more than Agents and Corporations, Inc., you may switch to our service by completing a Change of Agent Form, available online or by telephone at 1-800-759-2248.
