Your questions about Vermont registered agents
Do I really need a registered agent for a Vermont LLC?
You do. Vermont 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 Vermont 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. An individual, or a business registered and active with the Secretary of State other than the company itself, with a street and mailing address in Vermont.
When do I have to send in the Vermont annual report?
Mark within 3 months after the end of the LLC's fiscal year on record on your calendar. The state's charge is $45.
