We are due for mid 60s today, and warmer for the next few days.

Every year I have to renew the business license with the secretary of state for our LLC. It is a whopping $25 per year, and a $1 credit card fee.

Usually about month before it is time to renew I get a letter from a low life, but legal company. They send out a very official looking letter. It really looks much like what the State might send, but the Secretary of State just me an email. The low life company has this official looking letter and all the steps to just send them a nice check for $225 bucks to renew my annual certificate. They would then become the "official" agent for the company.

The main reason to even have an agent is if a company is sued, the agent gets the papers served and they are on record as the agent for the company. Or is someone or some business wants to find the owners of a company, I my name and address are listed.

I can guess that many secretaries of small businesses see that letter and hand it to the accounts payable, and it gets paid, and the owner of the company will have a hell of a time to be the registered agent again, and lots of money is wasted.

If a company wants to open in Oklahoma but the owners live out of state, they have to have a registered agent in Oklahoma. So in that case they can pay some local citizen to be the agent.
