The appointment and maintenance of an in-state registered agent is required

With its low cost of living and affordable residential market, launching a business in Oklahoma comes with a high likelihood of success: 81% of Oklahoman businesses survive the difficult first year in businesses -- one of the highest success rates in the nation. However, doing business in Oklahoma requires compliance with many federal, state, and local requirements.

Your registered agent must handle essential documents (such as annual reports and service of process) correctly and deliver them swiftly to the right people. CT Corporation’s experience and expertise remove that worry from your shoulders.

I strongly recommend CT Corporation as a reliable corporate compliance partner.

Roadmap to compliance
What to look for when choosing an Oklahoma registered agent

A registered agent should be reliable, accurate, and consistent.  They must always be available and physically present at the registered office during normal business hours. This ensures any hand-delivered legal documents get proper attention. 

 

They must also know all business entity and compliance rules, have professionally trained staff with expert knowledge on how to properly handle and forward SOP papers, have state-of-the-art processes in place to deliver crucial documents to you, and to follow-up with you regarding delivery. 

 

It is also important to have a registered agent that has the coverage and expertise to support your business as it expands into other states where an additional registration is often necessary.

The importance of having an Oklahoma registered agent

Having a professional registered agent ensures that things such as personal emergencies, vacations, business trips, and meetings never leave your company without this physical presence. Keep in mind, a lawsuit can proceed against you, even if your registered agent is not available to receive service. You may lose the opportunity to defend yourself in court or incur extra legal fees.

 

In addition to the registered agent’s statutory responsibilities of receiving and forwarding documents, professional service companies often provide a full range of services for LLCs, corporations, and other types of business entities to help them with their compliance needs. The right professional services company can help you stay in compliance and make sure all of your documents are handled correctly.
