What Does a New Hampshire Registered Agent Do?

As your New Hampshire registered agent, our job is to accept service of process (notice of litigation) on behalf of your company. In the event that your New Hampshire business is sued, the court will issue a notice that is sent to your registered agent. We accept these documents (as well as other official notifications), contact you, and forward them to you in a timely manner.

This registered agent service ensures that your business meets the state’s legal compliance requirements and maintains good standing with the Secretary of State.

Am I Required to Have a New Hampshire Registered Agent?
