## Questions

What does a Vermont registered agent do?

Receives lawsuits, subpoenas and official mail from the state for your company, and passes them on right away. Its address is on public record.

Can I be my own registered agent in Vermont?

Yes, if you have a street address in Vermont and are there during business hours. That address goes on public record, which is why many owners use a service.

What happens if I don't keep one?

You can miss a lawsuit and lose by default, and Vermont can take the company out of good standing.
