Common Questions

What does a registered agent actually do?

They sit at a physical Maine address during business hours and accept legal papers, court filings, and state correspondence for your business. Then they forward those documents to you. That is the entire job. We add speed to it: same-day scanning and instant email alerts.

Who qualifies under Maine law?

An individual 18 or older with a physical Maine address, or a business entity authorized in Maine. Maine follows the Model Registered Agents Act. Your own company cannot serve as its own agent. PO boxes do not work.

How much do you charge?

$99 per year. Everything included — address, scanning, portal, compliance reminders. No setup fee, no per-document charge.

How fast do I get my documents?

Same business day they arrive. We scan immediately upon receipt and upload to your portal. The email notification goes out right after. Most clients see documents within hours of physical delivery.

Can I be my own agent in Maine?

Not as a business entity — Maine prohibits that. You can serve individually if you are a Maine resident with a physical address and you are willing to be present every business day. But your address goes on the public record and you cannot miss a single delivery window.

How do I switch to you from another agent?

Enroll with us, and we hand you the change form with our details pre-filled. You submit it to the Maine Secretary of State with the filing fee ($15 for nonprofits, $35 for for-profits). Once processed, documents route to our office.

When is the Maine annual report due?

June 1 each year. Domestic LLCs pay $85, foreign LLCs pay $150. We send reminders ahead of the deadline so you file on time.

What if I miss the annual report?

Late fees, loss of good standing, and eventually administrative dissolution. A dissolved entity cannot conduct business or defend itself in court until reinstated. Reinstatement costs more than filing on time.

Do you handle LLC formations?

We do not file formation documents for you. You file directly with the Maine Secretary of State ($175). But you can list us as your registered agent on your Articles of Organization, and we are ready to receive documents from day one.

Is my home address exposed if I use you?

No. Our physical Maine address appears on all your public filings. Your home or personal office stays off state databases entirely.
