Your registered agent plays a vital role in keeping your business compliant but not all agents are created equal. If your current agent isn’t delivering on service, reliability, or responsiveness, it might be time to make a change.

At MCAC, we make switching simple. Here’s how to know when it’s time for a new registered agent and what the process looks like when you work with us.

Signs It’s Time to Switch Agents

Here are some clear indicators that it’s time to consider a new registered agent.

Missed Important Notices: If you’ve missed crucial notifications or have never received them, this is a big red flag.
Poor Communication: Can’t get a hold of your current agent? That lack of accessibility can harm your business.
Out-of-State Agents: If your agent is located out of state and isn’t familiar with Alaska regulations, they may not serve your best interests.
Hidden Fees: Are you paying hidden fees or extra charges? Transparency is crucial in maintaining a trustworthy business relationship.
Sudden Changes: If your agent’s name or address has changed without any notice, it’s time for a reassessment.

What You Risk by Waiting

Delays in switching can lead to serious consequences, such as missed service of process, hefty state penalties, or even administrative dissolution. Your business needs a registered agent it can count on—today. Don’t wait until it’s too late to take action.
