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

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, in order to form a business in Delaware, you are required to have a registered agent. A registered agent serves as the official point of contact between your business and the state government. They are responsible for receiving legal documents, important notifications, and other official correspondence on behalf of your business. The registered agent must have a physical address within Delaware and be available during regular business hours to accept these documents. The requirement for a registered agent ensures that there is a reliable and accountable party to receive important information on behalf of your business. Therefore, it is necessary to have a registered agent when forming a business in Delaware.
