I’m forming an LLC but unsure how to choose a registered agent. Should I hire a professional, use a local service, or appoint myself? What factors should I consider to ensure my business meets compliance requirements while protecting my privacy?

A registered agent is essential for receiving legal mail and official documents for your LLC. To choose one:
Understand your needs:
Do you need privacy or additional services like compliance reminders?
Can you commit to being available during business hours?
Explore options:
Professional services: Provide privacy, compliance monitoring, and document management.
Local firms: Offer registered agent services along with legal/accounting support.
DIY: Act as your agent if you have a state address and are always available.
Evaluate services:
Check reputation, pricing, and additional features like same-day document scans or free resources.
Choosing the right agent ensures compliance and efficiency for your LLC.
