Did you know that our office has a statutory agent company?

Avon, OH, December 6, 2008 – All Ohio corporations and limited liability companies are required by Ohio law to appoint some designated person or entity to receive important notices and documents from governmental agencies, courts, and others. These designated persons are called “Statutory Agents.”

Sometimes, in serving as Statutory Agent, the Statutory Agent is named as a party in a lawsuit brought against the corporation or limited liability company. Although courts typically do not hold Statutory Agents liable under these circumstances, such lawsuits can incur significant legal defense costs and require substantial amounts of time.

Black River Corporate Services, Inc. was created by Wickens, Herzer, Panza, Cook & Batista to serve as a Statutory Agent. The annual fee charged by Black River for such service is $220.00, far less than fees charged by other Statutory Agent companies. Black River will ensure that your company’s mail will be timely accounted for and delivered. In the event that Black River is sued in its capacity as Statutory Agent, you and your company will not be responsible for paying the cost of defending Black River in such a lawsuit and will not be liable for any judgments against Black River for serving as your Statutory Agent.
