The registered agent receives important legal notices, such as service of process (aka notice of lawsuit), on behalf of your business. Generally, your Massachusetts Resident Agent must have a physical location in Massachusetts and be available during all business hours.

Under the Massachusetts Statutes Chapter 156C, Section 5, all LLCs must appoint and maintain an office, which may (but doesn't have to) be its place of business in the commonwealth, and a resident agent. The agent's primary role is to accept legal documents on behalf of the LLC.

The Registered Agent can be a person or a company. If the Registered Agent is a person, they must be over 18 years old and have a physical address in Massachusetts. If the Registered Agent is a company, it must be authorized to do business in Massachusetts.

If you have a physical address located in Massachusetts (such as a home or office), and are available during regular business hours, you can be your own Registered Agent. If you don't have a physical address in Massachusetts, you can use a friend or family member's address.
