<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou should trust me because I\u2019ve spent more time dealing with the registered agent industry than most sane people care to. I\u2019ve learned so much that I\u2019d wager I know more than even some of the people who work at the registered agent companies on my list! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It started when I began searching for a registered agent for my two businesses. I didn\u2019t know much about registered agents at the time, but I knew enough to know that I didn\u2019t want to find myself in legal hot water or trouble with the Secretary of State. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I read through mountains of promotional pamphlets and online reviews in order to determine fact from fiction. I also spent hours on the phone with various customer service teams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve helped thousands of people find the right registered agent for their business entities. It was while guiding some of my friends and colleagues in the business community to their ideal registered agents that I realized I had more knowledge about registered agents than most people and I had more time to research agents than many people do, as well. This made it obvious to me that I was the right person to give this advice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since starting this website I\u2019ve helped thousands of people find the ideal registered agent for their companies, and I can help you find yours too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>How I Selected the Best Registered Agent<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\nMy search for the best registered agent in Tennessee began with a four-stage investigation of over 60 different agent companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Stage 1: Reviews<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nYou\u2019d be surprised how much you can learn about a company simply from reading online reviews. So the first stage of my investigation process involved combing through thousands of online reviews on TrustPilot, Facebook, Google Business, and the Better Business Bureau. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This stage helped me weed out the agents that were outright scams and those that were using deceptive pricing practices. (More on that later.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Stage 2: Website Analysis<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe next stage of my investigation led me to do a deep dive into each of the remaining companies' websites. This would reveal what services each agent provided and what sort of promises they made to potential customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This stage of the investigation was simple enough. I jumped onto their websites and read things like their \u201cAbout\u201d pages, their company histories, and their sales pages, determined if they had an address or office in Tennessee, how many different methods they list to contact their customer service team (phone, email, chat, etc.), and called their customer service team if something didn\u2019t make sense to me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
By the end of this stage I had a spreadsheet with 12 rows and 24 columns that listed each company\u2019s service offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Stage 3: Speaking with Real Customers<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\nYou can find out which services a company offers by going to their website, but speaking to customers will tell you how well they provide these services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I reached out to customers who came to my site looking for advice, as well as those whom I had already helped to find a registered agent and I asked them how satisfied they were with their registered agent service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This stage gave me a raw look at how each of the companies on my list treated their customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
