Your questions about New Hampshire registered agents

Do I really need a registered agent for a New Hampshire LLC?

You do. New Hampshire won't accept an LLC without a registered agent who has a street address in the state, and that name goes on the public record.

What do New Hampshire registered agents usually cost per year?

Plan on $99 to $149 a year, and each service keeps its price when you renew.

Can I be my own registered agent?

Sometimes, if you meet the state's rules. A New Hampshire resident, or a business entity registered with the Secretary of State, whose office is the registered office.

When do I have to send in the New Hampshire annual report?

Mark April 1 on your calendar. The state's charge is $100, and sending it late tacks on $50.
