Most
states require corporations and LLC's to appoint a registered
agent in the state in which the the company is formed. In
accordance with Delaware Law, Sections 131 and 132, a corporation
must maintain a "representative to accept summons and
mail on behalf of the Corporation."
The registered
agent is responsible for
- Receiving
important legal and tax documents
- Receiving
franchise tax forms, annual report forms and correspondence
from the IRS.
- Accepting
any legal service of process including
notice of litigation
- Forwarding
official documents or tax notices from the Secretary of
State.
- In addition,
Global, unlike other registered agents, at no additional
cost will forward your First Class business mail delivered
to our Delaware address
- Registered
Agent Fee.
You are required to pay ACME as your registered agent. Our
fee is $90.00 a year and is included in the incorporation
fee. We require our International clients to pay an additional
$25.00 as a mail forwarding deposit to cover the cost of
postage.
- Annual
Report or Franchise Tax. The
state of Delaware requires that each company pay a franchise
tax each year they are in business. If you do not pay this
tax, the corporation will be declared null and void within
two years.
