Do I need a registered agent to form a business in Delaware?

Asked 2 years ago
Yes, a registered agent is required to form a business in Delaware. The Delaware Secretary of State mandates that all businesses, including corporations and limited liability companies, designate a registered agent upon their formation. This registered agent serves as the official point of contact for receiving legal documents and important correspondence on behalf of the business. The registered agent must have a physical address in Delaware and be available during regular business hours to accept documents. This requirement ensures that there is a reliable way for the state and other parties to communicate with the business. For further details about registered agents and the formation process, it is advisable to refer to the current web page of the Delaware Secretary of State or consult related resources on their site.
