I'm under contract for a vacation rental property in Florida. I need to register my LLC as a foreign entity in Florida. The paperwork requires a "designated agent". Where do I find or what kind of business person serves as a "designated agent"?

@Doug Wolff a registered agent or designated agent is simply for service of process. There are companies that will do this for you for an annual fee. If you search for Registered Agent services you will find more than you need.

Good Luck!

You should really consider forming a Florida LLC to own the property. Foreign LLCs create all kinds of problems in the courts, who much prefer local LLCs.

@Sean, what kind of problems have you seen with foreign LLC in local courts? Can you give an example, thanks!
