Get Registered Agent service with Northwest:

^This is my favorite registered agent service - and it's the one I use for a good amount of my companies. $125 a year, great service, super privacy, and they actually have their own physical offices in each state. Trust me, I've done a lot of research on this haha - it's the go-to for a ton of business owners.
In this video, I go over a common question as to whether or not you should be your own registered agent. You're probably wondering about this if you have a business entity like an LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp, which is why this video was made to give you everything you need to know about the subject.

Be sure to watch the entire video because I'll be explaining in detail on what a registered agent is, how you can save money in registered agent costs, whether or not you can be your own registered agent, and what the smartest move is depending on your situation. Most of the time, you shouldn't be your own registered agent for many different reasons, and I'll be covering all of them in this video!
At the end of the day, it's totally up to you if you want to be your own registered agent, but I highly recommend you to get one through a service like Northwest Registered Agent like the majority of other businesses so that you can have privacy, and peace of mind knowing that you're not in any sort of legal trouble.

    Can you do a video on the NYC publication requirements. Which company to use to get this done? How much would it cost to diy vs a paid company?

    I currently have a Registered Agent, and obviously an LLC. My question is, yes even after watching your video, great job btw. Is, I actually don't do any business, like at all. I bought the business name just so I could have it. No funds in, no funds out. Should I still keep/get a Registered Agent? (OR make myself the RA)

    Sounded like an honest review until he advertised for North West. Smh. Good sales pitch.

    Great info! Thank you for putting this out here! The only thing is- your home address is already online. Anyone can google your first and last name and get your current and past addresses, phone numbers, and relatives. :/ It is astounding and terrifying. It's no wonder some people have issues with stalkers no matter how often or where they move.

    Are there any forms I have to fill out to declare myself my own registered agent, or does that default when you don't have one or cancel the service?

    Agreed, went through his videos, it’s hard to find which RA is his favorite, he mentioned each different RA is “been used for all his companies” .. so disappointing 😢
