FAQ
Can I be my own registered agent?
Many states allow it, but you need an in-state address and availability during business hours; privacy is weaker.
Is the state filing fee annual?
Not always; some states charge annual reports or franchise tax at different amounts and intervals.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No; confirm with the Secretary of State and a professional.
