Questions we get before people sign up.

Ohio requires every registered business entity, whether an LLC, corporation, nonprofit, or partnership, to name a statutory agent: a person or company at an Ohio street address who accepts service of process and official mail on the entity's behalf. We are that address, and we make sure whatever arrives reaches you.

Yes, if you have an Ohio street address and are reliably there during business hours. Most owners use a commercial agent to keep a home address off the public record and to avoid missing a delivery.

Documents are scanned and published the same business day they are received. Notifications go out the moment a document is published.

Service of process: summonses, complaints, subpoenas, garnishments. Urgent documents notify every authorized contact and escalate to a phone call if nobody acknowledges them.

No. We tell you what arrived and when. Deadlines printed in a document are between you and your counsel. Renewal dates in the portal refer to our service, not to state filings.

No handling fee. You pay the carrier’s actual charge, shown in the portal before you approve the shipment. Scans are always free.

Service-of-process originals stay in our Litchfield vault for seven years. Routine mail is held 30 days and then shredded unless you ask us to forward it. Scans are kept indefinitely.

Yes. There are owner, employee, and attorney roles, and each can be limited to specific entities and document categories.

Both. We file Ohio LLC, corporation, and nonprofit formations ($100 plus the $99 state fee), register out-of-state entities in Ohio, obtain EINs, file S-corp elections, supply corporate books and seals, and obtain apostilles. Each is a flat fee with the state's fee listed separately; see the Services page.

A GoHighLevel subaccount included with every plan for contacts, campaigns, booking, and invoicing. Statutory-agent records never enter it.

Billing and workspace access end at the period end. Your appointment with the state stays active until you file a new agent, and we keep accepting documents for you in the meantime. Documents already received remain available.

No. Ohio LLCs and corporations do not file annual reports, so keeping a statutory agent on record is the main ongoing state requirement. When the Secretary of State or Department of Taxation does write to you, we flag it for attention the day it arrives.

We give you every entry you need and confirm when the state record shows us as your agent. Filing stays with you or your attorney, so your state record is never changed by a third party without your say.
