What should I be looking for when selecting a registered agent?

Solid Background: You want to appoint a registered agent who is competent at what they’re doing, who’s been performing the duties of a registered agent for several years and has a good reputation.

Dependability: You need to be able to depend on your registered agent. You need to know that they will live up to their duties and be available during regular business hours to accept service of process and other legal paperwork.

Reputation: Your Vermont registered agent must have be known for forwarding legal paperwork and service of process in a reliable and timely manner. If they accept legal documents for you and fail to deliver them to you, your company could end up with a decision against you in court and not even know that your company is involved in a lawsuit.

Consumer Relations: What if you need to clarify or have a question about some aspect of your business as it relates to the State. You don’t want to talk to a person reading off a script in a call center in India, you want to talk to a consumer service rep who actually knows a thing or two about business registered agent service.

Optional Services: In addition to basic registered agent service (by accepting your legal papers), check to see if your registered agent offers additional services like: Customized documents for state filings, email reminders for important filing deadlines and due dates, tools that will keep your company in good standing with the state.
