Keep Your Personal Address Private with Professional Statutory Agent Service

Your business address appears on public filings with the Ohio Secretary of State. When you use Ohio Registered Agent, our Columbus address goes on record instead of yours — protecting your privacy while meeting state requirements. $99 per year, no hidden fees.

Why Your Ohio Business Needs a Statutory Agent

Ohio law expects businesses operating as LLCs, corporations, and other registered entities to maintain a statutory agent. This person or company receives legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of your business during normal business hours.

The Ohio Secretary of State tracks your statutory agent information. Without one properly listed, your business may face compliance issues or miss important notices from the state.

Every Ohio LLC and corporation generally needs a statutory agent with a physical street address in the state. The address cannot be a PO box or commercial mail receiving agency — Ohio specifically prohibits both.

What Ohio Registered Agent Provides

Privacy protection. Our address appears on public records, not yours. Anyone can look up your business filing online. Using our service keeps your home or office location private.

Reliable document handling. We receive service of process, state notices, and compliance documents at our Ohio address. You get same-day scanning and forwarding through our online portal.

Business hours coverage. State rules expect your statutory agent to be available during normal business hours. We maintain consistent availability so you never miss important correspondence.

Compliance reminders. While Ohio does not have an annual report requirement, we send alerts about other important deadlines and filings that may affect your business.

Professional presence. Our Columbus address gives your business a stable, established point of contact with state authorities.

About Ohio's Statutory Agent Requirements

Ohio uses the term "statutory agent" rather than registered agent. The role functions the same way — receiving official documents and maintaining an accessible address during business hours.

Individuals serving as statutory agents need to be Ohio residents. Business entities serving in this role need a business address in Ohio and appropriate authorization if they are non-domestic entities.

Business owners can serve as their own statutory agent if they meet these requirements. However, doing so puts your personal address on public record and expects you to be available during business hours to receive documents. Many business owners prefer using a professional service to maintain privacy and reliability.
