Business Incorporation Services

 A business mailbox service, also known as a virtual mailbox service or a commercial mailbox service, provides businesses with a physical mailing address separate from their home address. It offers a secure location for receiving mail and packages, along with additional services such as mail forwarding, scanning, and package notification.

Businesses need a mailbox service for several reasons, including maintaining privacy by keeping personal addresses off public records, establishing a professional business address, receiving mail and packages from multiple carriers, managing mail while traveling or working remotely, and separating business mail from personal mail.

Our business mailbox service provides your business with a physical brick and mortar address. Mail and packages are delivered to this address and received securely. Upon signing up for services, you will receive an immediate email that provides you with your new business address, instructions on how to change your address with state and federal entities (if necessary), details for how the service works and who to contact if you need assistance. When mail arrives, you are notified by the preferred method of notification you chose when you signed up for the service. This can include options such as scanning, in-person pickup or mail forwarding (for an additional fee).

 In most cases, a business mailbox address cannot be used as the legal address UNLESS it is also the address as your registered agent because the legal address of a business must provide official purposes such as that which is registered with the government, filing and receiving legal documents.

Some benefits of using a business mailbox service include enhanced privacy and security, a professional business image, centralized mail management, flexibility to access mail from anywhere, mail and package forwarding options, and the ability to receive mail from all carriers.

A registered agent is a designated individual or company appointed by a business entity to receive legal documents, such as lawsuits, subpoenas, and government notices, on behalf of the business. The registered agent serves as the official point of contact for legal matters and ensures that important documents are received and handled promptly.

Remember as a business owner, you are a legal entity which requires following legal processes to maintain the legal umbrella of protection afforded to you by establishing your business structure. A registered agent is required by law for most business entities, including corporations, limited liability companies (LLCs), and partnerships, to ensure that there is a reliable and consistent method for receiving legal documents and official notices. It helps maintain transparency and accountability in legal matters.

The primary responsibilities of a registered agent include receiving and promptly forwarding legal documents and official notices to the business entity, maintaining accurate records of received documents, ensuring compliance with state requirements for registered agents, and being available during normal business hours to accept deliveries. Our registered agent services also include reminders of state annual filing and the filing of extensions upon request.

This can have both a personal and professional negative impact.
