Qualified Registered Agent in Florida for Numerous Business Entities
All corporate entities conducting business in the State of Florida must register with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations in order to legally conduct business in the State. As part of the registration process, every entity that transacts business, owns real property located, or that owns a mortgage on real property located in The State of Florida, must have and maintain a registered office in the State and a “Registered Agent”. All entities must file with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations notice of the registered office and the Registered Agent. If an entity fails to designate a Registered Agent located in the State of Florida, the entity may be subject to civil sanctions.
What is a “Registered Agent?”
A registered agent is the party designated by an entity to receive “Service of Process” on behalf of the corporation and to provide a physical address at which the registered agent is available to receive it. Service of Process is the delivery of a writ, subpoena, summons, legal notice, tax notice, official government communication, or other legal paper to the person required to respond to it. A registered agent can also receive official documentation from the Secretary of State on behalf of the entity.
An entity may designate an individual or any other organization that is qualified to do business in the State of Florida as its registered agent. Florida permits a director, an officer, or the entity itself to act as the registered agent if the entity has an office located in Florida. When the registered agent receives Service of Process on behalf of the entity, it is the registered agent’s duty to immediately notify a designated company contact that it has received Service of Process on behalf of the company.

Testimonals
Lisa, I just wanted to say thank you for your services. I had been using another firm when you were referred to me. You were like a breath of fresh air! It was a pretty tough time in our lives as the result of real estate investments gone bad, and you just jumped right in with such a positive approach, I knew the first time I spoke with you that I was changing firms. I was very appreciative of the time you spent with me, both on the phone and in person… bottom line, you got the job done, and quickly!
When I wanted to take my company to the next level, I chose Stacey Griffiths, Esq. hands down. I needed someone who could see the big picture but was focused on developing a detailed plan of executing my vision while constantly keeping her eye on my protection. She has been and continues to be a huge asset to my company and me.
Thank you for the service and your efforts in this matter, you were a calming voice.
The one thing I hope for is a true statement of options and not just BS. You supplied the options and I believe we made the only logical choices based on your council.
I hope not to need your services in the future, but should something come up, I hope you will be available.
Thank you once again for you efforts,
I just want to convey my appreciation for everything you have done on my behalf.
You have been so understanding and kind throughout this situation. Best of everything to you in your future.
