Does it make sense to use a registered agent for your LLC?
Hi everyone,
I am attempting to setup my first LLC for my first flip (in Georgia). In looking up the process I was presented with the option of using a registered agent for the LLC records. My understanding is this would provide flexibility (can choose states that I don't live in), privacy (don't need to have my name and home address included in LLC records), and convenience (I guess these services send updates about deadlines, etc.). What do most of the more experienced investors here do? Is it worth the extra $120 or so a year to make use of a registered agent? Thanks.

In a word...no. I have four LLC's for the last 13 years. I am the registered agent. I had my attorney be the agent when I started - and he never had to do anything! So- when I made the switch ( you do that when you pay the annual registration fee to the state) I have noticed...nothing. I don't get any "official" mail that I know of - just property tax bills from each county, and the annual registration post card from the state. My personal address is listed - but it shows me as a registered agent- not as the "owner" of the company ( Yes...I am officially a "Member" of each company. Certainly not worth the $120+ fee for others to be the agent.
