answers

General

Is a statutory agent the same as a registered agent?

Yes. Arizona uses the term statutory agent because the role is set by state statute. Most other states say registered agent. The duties are identical.

What does a statutory agent actually do?

They accept legal documents and state notices for your business at a physical Arizona address, sign for them, and pass them to you fast. Read more on what a statutory agent is.

Can a statutory agent use a P.O. Box?

No. Arizona law requires a physical street address in the state. P.O. Boxes and private mailbox stores are not allowed under A.R.S. section 29-3115.

Cost and Billing

How much does your service cost?

$9.99 for every year. There are no setup fees and no hidden forwarding charges.

Will I get charged by surprise at renewal?

No. We send an invoice before your renewal date, so nothing auto-charges without your say-so.

What does it cost to form the LLC itself?

The state fee is $50 to file your Articles of Organization. See the full Arizona LLC cost breakdown.

Publication

Can I use your address to skip newspaper publication?

Yes. Our office is in Gilbert, inside Maricopa County, which is exempt from the newspaper publication requirement. More on the publication requirement.

How much does publication cost if I am not exempt?

Usually $60 to $300, and it has to finish within 60 days of forming your LLC.

Compliance

Do Arizona LLCs file an annual report?

No. Arizona does not require LLCs to file an annual report. Corporations do file one, roughly $45, and we can handle that filing for you.

What happens if I miss a legal notice?

A missed lawsuit can lead to a default judgment. A missed state notice can lead to administrative dissolution of your business. A reliable agent is how you avoid both.
