Filed my first LLC paperwork without a lawyer in 2019, took 11 weeks to learn what a registered agent really does
Back then I thought I could just fill out the state form online and be done. Turns out I missed the registered agent address requirement twice and got my filing kicked back by the Indiana Secretary of State both times. By the time I figured out I needed a real physical address in the state instead of my PO box, I had burned almost three months and $180 in resubmission fees. These days the online portals walk you through it step by step, which would have saved me a lot of grief. Has anyone else here had a state office reject their formation papers over something small like that?
