Individual NJ Registered Agent vs. Harbor Compliance
Opting for an individual as your registered agent might seem like the most straightforward solution. Still, it has its drawbacks, namely an increased risk of missing important notices and facing corresponding legal consequences.
A friend or a family member can agree to take on this responsibility, but they might be away from the registered office and miss a notice due to personal commitments, travel, emergencies, or other reasons.
You might consider enlisting an employee to address this availability issue, as they're typically in the office during business hours. While this might seem convenient, it could expose you to the risk of receiving service of process in front of your investors, partners, or clients.
Another viable option is to act as your own registered agent, which might appear as the most cost-effective solution. However, this means your personal information becomes part of the public record, and you'd have to be present at the registered office during standard business hours, five days a week.
On the other hand, partnering with Harbor Compliance comes with many benefits, such as:
- Increased privacy—Our information will enter the public record instead of yours, benefiting your privacy
- Flexibility—Outsourcing the registered agent duties to us means not having to be constantly present at the registered office during business hours. This allows you to manage your organization regardless of your physical location.
- Top-notch security—Your data is protected with advanced measures like data encryption and cloud monitoring, providing a level of protection beyond what a typical individual agent can offer.
- Nationwide reach—You can appoint us in as many states as your organization operates in. Manage all official correspondence from different jurisdictions through our Client Portal.
