From Wolters Kluwer:

Choosing a registered agent is a critical issue for newly forming and qualifying companies. In choosing whether to appoint an individual or a corporate registered agent, businesses should take into consideration certain risks inherent in choosing an individual.

Introduction
Nearly every corporation, LLC and LP are required to appoint and continuously maintain a registered agent in its state of formation and in every state in which it is qualified to do business as a foreign entity. This is an agent to whom a summons, complaint or other initial litigation documents can be served.
