Article 3 -
Registered Agent and Office
Every Virginia limited liability
company is required to appoint and continuously maintain a Virginia
registered agent and office. The registered agent serves a very
important role for a Virginia business.
Generally, the Virginia laws
require that a Virginia registered agent be a resident of Virginia
and either (i) a member or manager of the LLC; (ii) an officer of an
entity that that is a member of the LLC; or (iii) a member of the
Virginia State Bar (which means Virginia lawyer).
A Virginia registered agent is
not a lawyer but rather serves purely an administrative role.
The statute specifically states that "The sole purpose of the
registered agent is to forward to the limited liability company, at
its last known address, any process, notice, or demand that is
served on the registered agent." Section 13.1-1015.
These three articles contain all
the requirements for setting up an LLC in Virginia. It is important
that a limited liability company is properly formed in order to
ensure limited liability protection and and to obtain other benefits
of the LLC. If you would like to access more articles with
