Should You Be Your Own Michigan Registered Agent?
As long as you meet the requirements, you could choose to be your own Michigan registered agent instead.
You would need to:
- Maintain a registered office with a Michigan street address where you can physically receive legal documents and mail from the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA).
- Be available in person to receive documents during regular business hours (typically, 9 to 5) at your registered office.
But is it a good idea? There are positive and negative aspects to being your own Michigan registered agent.
Pros
- Cost. Serving as your own Michigan resident agent is free.
- Connection to your business. If you’re someone who wants to be involved with every detail of your business, you may appreciate being your own registered agent.
Cons
- Privacy concerns. When you apply to certify your business, your registered office address will be included on your paperwork and entered into the public record. You may not want your home or business address to be so easily available.
- Availability conflicts. If you are your own registered agent, you may be busy working when a process server arrives.
- Lack of flexibility. Because you must be on-site at your registered office during regular business hours, you are essentially tied to that location during the workweek. If you take an off-site meeting, work lunch, or business trip anytime Monday through Friday, between 9 and 5, you may miss a time-sensitive legal notice, such as a summons or suit.
- Lack of professionalism. If a process server is trying to hand you a lawsuit in front of clients, it can hurt your company’s image.
