When a new Maine business is formed, the company must designate a registered office within the Articles of Organization for an LLC or the Articles of Incorporation for a Corporation.<\/p>\n Appointing a registered agent is legally required under Chapter 6-A of the Model Registered Agents Act.<\/p>\n Failure to appoint and maintain a proper resident agent could result in default judgments (in the case of a lawsuit), fines, and penalties. You might also risk having your business suspended or terminated in the state of Maine.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#40798C” custom_padding=”25px|25px|25px|25px|false|false” border_radii=”on|10px|10px|10px|10px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”_initial” header_2_font_size=”25px” background_layout=”dark” custom_margin=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_wpt_gravityform gravityform_id=”gf-51″ title=”off” description=”off” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”965be9f9-0f97-4005-9d27-2125cf34dd27″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_wpt_gravityform][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Details ” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F1F8FB” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-items: center;” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”fc7b0c29-346f-488d-a493-370890e73fab” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_padding=”0rem|0rem|0rem|0rem|true|true” border_style_all=”none” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A registered agent is an individual or business that is appointed by the company to receive and sign for any legal service of process documents, notices, or demands served upon the company.<\/p>\n Some examples of the documentation include:<\/strong><\/p>\n The following domestic and foreign businesses require a resident agent in Maine:<\/strong><\/p>\n To serve as a resident agent or office, you must meet the following requirements:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Commercial Agent – No Need to Update” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_css_main_element=”align-items: center;” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.corpnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/AdobeStock_261523910-2.png” alt=”Smiling Woman Working on Her Computer” title_text=”Smiling Woman Working on Her Computer” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”6006df00-9703-4b32-871b-76c82586c50d” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A commercial registered agent has filed a special listing statement with a state\u2019s agency responsible for business registrations and compliance. Information that a commercial registered agent provides on the list includes its company name, entity type, and address to which service of process should be sent.<\/p>\n Commercial registered agents often maintain a physical address in multiple states and work with many business entities. Commercial agents like CorpNet also will notify businesses of upcoming state filings and legal notices and they can prepare and submit compliance filings on your behalf.<\/p>\n There are many advantages to working with a commercial registered agent.

I have used their LLC formation and dissolution services…and then their formation service again, and then once again. I have also taken advantage of their services for annual report filing as well as registered agent monitoring and notification. I honestly don’t know what I’d do if left to my own devices with these matters.<\/span><\/p>\n What really makes CorpNet stand out, in my opinion, is the level of service, the consistency of the experience, and the price. You speak to live humans whenever you want (during business hours, of course). And beyond that, these are live humans that actually get to know you. State fees aside, the fees for CorpNet services are so nominal. And you just can’t put a price on doing the best you can for your small business. You and your company provide endless examples of how to rock a small business on every level.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”FAQs” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” custom_padding=”||||false|false” locked=”off” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Does Maine require a registered agent?<\/strong><\/p>\n Yes.

Some service providers offer super low rates, however, this comes with limited services, hidden costs, and they do not offer important things your business needs like compliance monitoring, online customer portals, live customer service, or a money-back guarantee.<\/p>\n While at face value, a low-priced registered agent may seem like a sweet deal, things can turn sour quickly. So rather than looking only at the price low-cost providers flash prominently on their websites, dig deeper into what you\u2019ll be getting and what you’re not getting.<\/p>\n How do I change my existing registered agent?<\/strong><\/p>\n Registered Agent changes must be made by filing a Statement of Change form with the Secretary of State.<\/p>\n If you hire a commercial registered agent, they can process the paperwork for you.
