Do I have to live in the state of Nevada to incorporate in Nevada?
Of course not! That's why we're here actually. If you reside outside of the State of Nevada,
you are more than welcome to incorporate here.
What is a Registered Agent?
A Registered Agent is a person (or entity) that is authorized to accept Service of Process on behalf of a corporate
entity. In order to qualify as a Registered Agent, you must be physically located in the State that the entity is incorporated
in. For example, if your entity is incorporated in Nevada, you would need to have an Agent located in the
State of Nevada.
Registered Agents are also commonly referred to as Resident Agents.
Do I need to have a Registered Agent?
This is a great question that we receive quite often. All entities incorporated in the State of Nevada need to
have a Registered Agent BUT they don't necessarily need to pay for one. If an entity is physically located
in the State of Nevada and has someone available to accept Service of Process, they can elect to act as their own
Registered Agent, thus eliminating the need to pay for the service.
On the other hand, if an entity is incorporated in the State of Nevada and is physically located in a different State,
it would need to have a Registered Agent (preferably Nevada Business Services) in the State of Nevada
acting on it's behalf.
What services does a Registered Agent provide?
The primary function of a Registered Agent is to receive service of process on behalf of a corporate entity.
Most Commercial Registered Agents will offer services in addition to receiving service of process, but these services
can vary widely depending on the company.
To see a list of services we offer which are included with your Registered Agent package, please visit our
Nevada Registered Agent page.
Can I change my Registered Agent?
Absolutely! You can change your registered agent when ever you would like to. The process is quite easy as well.
Be sure to read our
Change of Registered Agent page for detailed
information about the process.
In the State of Nevada, can I incorporate without an attorney?
Absolutely! Actually, this is a common misconception many people have when creating a corporate entity which
can cost them a lot of money. Truth be told, in the State of Nevada there are no laws that require
a licensed attorney to handle the formation of your entity.
What is the Corporate Veil?
The corporate veil is a legal concept created by the corporate laws of a given State.
It refers to the laws that are put in place to keep your personal assets separate
from the assets of your entity. In the event that a corporate entity is sued, a strong corporate veil
(like Nevada's) will help to ensure only the assets of the corporation are at risk while your own
personal assets remain safe.
