Registered Agent Services
Registered Agent Overview
A Registered Agent is a designated individual or business entity that is responsible for receiving legal documents, government notices, and other important correspondence on behalf of your business. Every company is required by law to maintain a registered agent in the state where it is incorporated or does business.
Key responsibilities of a Registered Agent:
- Receive legal documents such as lawsuits, subpoenas, and other official notices
- Ensure that your business stays compliant with state regulations
- Forward received documents to you in a timely manner
- Maintain a physical address in the state where your business is registered
Having a reliable Registered Agent is essential for maintaining good standing with the state, avoiding missed legal notices, and ensuring your business is up to date with its filings. At Filing Express, we provide Registered Agent services to help you stay compliant and organized, no matter where your business operates.
Changing Your
 Registered Agent
At some point, you may find the need to change your Registered Agent, whether due to a change in your business structure, a relocation to another state, or the desire for better service. The process of changing your Registered Agent is relatively simple, but it must be done properly to ensure your business remains compliant and in good standing. 

Key reasons to change your Registered Agent:
- Move your business to a new state or jurisdiction
- Need a more reliable agent to handle your legal documents and notifications
- Your current Registered Agent fails to provide adequate service
- Update your business address for receiving official documents
To ensure your business remains compliant and protected, Filing Express can assist you in making a smooth transition to a new Registered Agent. We handle the paperwork and ensure that your new agent is properly designated, providing you with peace of mind.
Trademarks, Copyrights &
Intellectual Property Protection
Protecting your business’s intellectual property (IP) is critical to maintaining a competitive edge and ensuring that your creations, branding, and unique ideas remain secure. At Filing Express, we offer comprehensive services to help you safeguard your intellectual property, including Trademarks, Copyrights, and other essential protections that help define your brand and secure your business’s assets.
Operating Agreements &
Shareholder Agreements
An Operating Agreement is a critical document for LLCs that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and ownership structure of the company. For corporations, a Shareholder Agreement serves a similar function, defining the rights of shareholders and setting the terms of ownership, profit distribution, and management of the company.
Key benefits of Operating Agreements and Shareholder Agreements:
- Clarify ownership and roles within the business
- Set clear expectations and prevent future disputes
- Protect personal assets and limit liability
- Provide a roadmap for business operations and decision-making
At Filing Express, we assist you in drafting and finalizing these agreements to ensure your company’s operations are clear and legally sound.
Banking Resolutions &
Corporate Resolutions
Banking Resolutions and Corporate Resolutions are formal documents that authorize specific individuals to act on behalf of the business. These resolutions are required by banks and other institutions when opening accounts or making decisions on behalf of the company. A Corporate Resolution typically covers major decisions like mergers, loans, and significant changes in the company’s structure.
Key reasons to have Banking Resolutions and Corporate Resolutions:
- Grant authority to individuals to open and manage business accounts
- Formalize major business decisions and actions taken by the board or shareholders
- Ensure compliance with financial and legal institutions
- Protect the company from unauthorized decisions or transactions
At Filing Express, we help prepare your Banking Resolutions and Corporate Resolutions accurately and in accordance with your company’s needs, ensuring smooth operations and compliance with regulations.
Stock Certificates, Member Certificates
& Corporate Seals
Stock Certificates and Member Certificates serve as proof of ownership for shares in a corporation or membership interests in an LLC. These certificates help establish the ownership structure and can be issued to shareholders or members as a formal acknowledgment of their stake in the business.
Corporate Seals are used to emboss documents with an official symbol, often adding a layer of authenticity to business documents and contracts.
Key benefits of Stock Certificates, Member Certificates, and Corporate Seals:
- Formalize ownership in your company
- Provide official proof of membership or stock ownership
- Ensure legitimacy in legal and financial matters
- Enhance professionalism and credibility for your business
At Filing Express, we offer Stock Certificates, Member Certificates, and Corporate Seals to give your business the necessary documentation to establish ownership, demonstrate authority, and maintain professional standards.
Trademarks & DBAs
A Trademark is a symbol, word, or other distinctive mark used to identify and distinguish your goods or services from others. Registering a Trademark gives your business legal protection and exclusive rights to use that mark in commerce. Additionally, a DBA (Doing Business As) name allows you to operate your business under a name other than your legal company name.
Key benefits of Trademarks and DBAs:
- Protect your brand and logo from infringement
- Ensure your business has exclusive rights to its name and mark
- Increase market recognition and consumer trust
- Use a DBA to brand your business in a way that resonates with customers
At Filing Express, we assist with registering Trademarks and filing for DBA names, providing you with legal protections and ensuring your business name is secured.
Copyrights
Copyrights protect original works of authorship, including written content, artwork, music, software, and other creative works. Registering a Copyright ensures that your work is legally protected from unauthorized reproduction or distribution, helping you retain control over how your creations are used.
Key benefits of Copyright protection:
- Prevent unauthorized use or reproduction of your work
- Establish clear ownership and rights to your creative work
- Enforce your rights through legal action if infringement occurs
- Provide proof of ownership in case of disputes
Filing Express helps you secure Copyrights for your creative works, giving you peace of mind and legal protection for your intellectual property.
