Frequently asked questions
Do I need a registered agent in Michigan?+
Yes. Every LLC and corporation registered in Michigan is legally required to maintain a registered agent with a physical in-state address that is available during business hours to accept legal and state documents.
Can I be my own registered agent in Michigan?+
You can, provided you have a physical street address in Michigan (not a P.O. box) and are available during business hours. Many owners instead hire a commercial agent for privacy and to avoid missing a legal notice.
How much does a registered agent cost in Michigan?+
Commercial registered-agent services in Michigan typically charge $50–$300 per year. Prices vary with add-ons like compliance reminders, mail forwarding, and document scanning.
What happens if I don't have a registered agent?+
Your business can fall out of good standing, be administratively dissolved, or lose the ability to bring lawsuits, and you may miss a lawsuit served against you. Maintaining an active agent avoids default judgments and compliance lapses.
How do I change my registered agent in Michigan?+
File a change-of-registered-agent form with the state (Sunbiz in FL, LARA in MI, the Division of Corporations in DE) — usually a short filing with a small fee. Your new agent can often handle the paperwork for you.
