When you file an LLC, you name a registered agent and an address. That filing is public. People do not think about it until a process server shows up at their house on a Tuesday.
What a registered agent is for
- Receiving service of process and official state mail during business hours.
- Keeping a reliable address on file with the state.
- Making sure a lawsuit or state notice actually reaches you in time.
Why home addresses cause problems
Your address becomes public record. You have to be available during business hours. If you move, you have to remember to update the state. And a missed notice can turn into a default you did not know about.
What we do instead
HB is a Registered Commercial Registered Agent in the State of Tennessee. Mail is received at our Fountain City office, scanned, and posted to your portal, with renewal dates and state deadlines tracked so nothing quietly lapses.
