Why Change Your CO Registered Agent?
There are a variety of reasons for wanting—or needing—to change your registered agent.
Too Expensive
- If you hired a national registered agent service company, chances are you’re paying $100, $200, or more for registered service each year. Even if you started out at a reasonable price, you may have been surprised with a higher bill the second year. And the worst part? They might even charge you to view your documents on top of their annual fee!
Inconvenient
- Not all registered agents are created equal. We scan your documents immediately, upload them to our state-of-the-art online portal, and send you a notification so that you can quickly and easily view everything you’ve received. Some agents don’t have a streamlined setup like this. You may have to wait for them to physically forward the documents to you or deal with a clunky online system that’s hard to navigate.
Not Reliable
- The point of having a registered agent is that you always have someone to receive important legal and state documents, which may include lawsuits and tax notices. If your agent isn’t regularly available and you receive a critical document late—or don’t receive it at all—your business could face negative financial and legal consequences.
Not Good for You
- Being your own registered agent comes with a bunch of downsides. First off, if you list your home address as your registered agent address, it goes on the public record for anyone to find if they search for your business using the state database. Second, you may not always be available—what if you take a work trip or a vacation? And third, you may not appreciate being served at home or at work in front of customers.
Whatever your reason for changing your registered agent, once you decide to change, you need to act quickly. Not having a registered agent appointed for your company is a violation of state law.
What Happens If You Don’t Have a Registered Agent?
Don’t put your company at risk by operating without an agent! Maintaining a registered agent for the life of your company is required by Colorado state statutes.
The Colorado Secretary of State identifies four ways not having a registered agent can negatively impact your company:
- You could miss important notices
If your company is sued but your summons isn’t received because you don’t have a registered agent, you may not be able to respond to the summons in time. And unfortunately, the plaintiff may be able to continue with the lawsuit without your company being involved, which could result in a default judgment in favor of the plaintiff even if you could have won the case easily.
- You could lose your good standing with the state
When you lose good standing, you might not be able to:
- bring a lawsuit against the state
- register to do business in other states
- obtain necessary financing through grants or loans
- You could face fines and other penalties
Depending on the situation, the state of Colorado may levy additional fines or penalties against your company for noncompliance.
- Your company could be marked Delinquent
If your company is marked Delinquent in the state records, a few different things happen:
- After 400 days of delinquency, your registered business name will become available and you may lose your name to another business
- You’ll have to go through the process of restoring your company from Delinquent status, including filing a Statement to Cure Delinquency ($100)
- Anyone who views your company records through the state database will be able to see that your company was once Delinquent
How to Change Your Registered Agent in Colorado
Do you need a new registered agent? There are two—well, three—ways to change your registered agent in Colorado.
1
Update your registered agent information when you file your Periodic Report
Each year, your business is required to file a Periodic Report to ensure that the information the state has on file about your company remains up to date.
If you are appointing a new registered agent, simply update the registered agent name and address on the report. Filing your Periodic report costs $25.
2
File a Statement of Change
If it’s not time to file your Periodic Report and you’d like to change your registered agent, you can submit a Statement of Change: Changing the Registered Agent Information.
On the form, you’ll need to provide your new registered agent’s name and address on the form, along with the agent’s consent to serve on behalf of your company.
Filings are accepted online (find your business using the Record ID Search) and the fee is $10.
