Registered Agent vs Commercial Registered Agent Services
A registered agent is an individual or entity designated by a business to receive legal service of process on its behalf. That could be any person or business located in the state where the entity conducts business - ideally one that is in the business of providing registered agent services.
A commercial registered agent is a business entity that has filed a special listing statement with the state. The listing statement streamlines communication between the secretary of state and the commercial registered agent, allowing for greater reliability and speed. 3HCG, is a commercial registered agent in the states that have such a distinction.
Our Commercial Registered Agent Services
When an individual or entity brings legal action against a business it’s vital for the business to take action immediately. For this reason, speed and reliability are essential qualities of a registered agent.
As commercial registered agents, 3H Compliance Group ensures that all legal notices and third-party documents are processed and forwarded to clients within 24 hours of receipt. Since we began offering commercial registered agent services in 2007 we have consistently delivered on this commitment.
By appointing 3H Compliance Group as your Registered Agent you can have peace of mind knowing that any services of process will be handled in a timely, efficient manner.
Service of Legal Process
Service of process is the legal term used to describe the delivery of legal documents, such as subpoenas, summons, and complaints, to a party involved in a legal proceeding.
A registered agent is a person or business entity designated to receive those legal documents on behalf of a company or an individual. Appointing a Registered Agent is fundamental to maintaining a compliant business operation.
You can find a more detailed explanation of Service of Process in our blog post, Understanding Service of Process.
Client Testimonials
We’ve worked with small businesses and some of the country's largest insurance agencies and brokerages.
No job is too big or too small.
Moni Milchman
Co-Founder, Executive Chairman
InsurMedix Inc.
“I absolutely recommend 3H Corporate Services. We were working with a general law firm to handle insurance broker and surplus lines licensing and corporate registrations across 49 US states and jurisdictions. We’ve since moved all that work to 3H Corporate Services and are paying less to get better service.”
Celia Santana
President & Chief Executive Officer
Personal Risk Management Solutions
“We were referred to 3H Corporate Services 17 years ago when we launched our high-net-worth personal insurance brokerage. In that time, we’ve received nothing but exceptional service and never considered utilizing anyone else. 3H Corporate Services handles all our licensing and Secretary of State registrations, so we don’t have to worry about them. It would cost us a lot more to do it ourselves. The team is incredibly responsive, efficient, and effective. I highly recommend them!”
Courtney Stough
Chief Legal Officer/Chief Operating Officer
Frontier Risk
“3H Corporate Services has been an extremely valuable partner for our startup agency. Their expertise in both licensing and complex corporate structures saved us significant amounts of money in initial filing costs, and in recurring annual expenses. Plus, they deliver a true “white-glove” experience with same-day response times and exemplary service in every interaction. They’ve proven to be real asset to our organization.”
Max Brenner

"3H Corporate Services' team is great. They are responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and a reliable partner."
Dave Quinn
President
NAESIP
"I cannot overstate the value of their recommendations. They approached us with a strategy to change the way we manage our annual licensing fees. In the past, they all came up at roughly the same time which required us to come up with a lot of cash to cover them. Now, we’re paying out smaller amounts each month, which is much easier for our business to manage. It’s really valuable to have the kind of knowledge, expertise, and technology the 3H team puts to work on our behalf."
Chris Peterson
President
Chris-Leef General Agency, Inc.
“We started working with 3H in 2014, following multiple referrals. At that time, we had just acquired an agency and were looking for a way to eliminate liability associated with insurance compliance-related filings. The cost analysis of having to undertake this work internally didn’t make economic sense and so we engaged 3H. Our decision to do so has proved to be beneficial and very valuable; we have been extremely impressed with their services ever since.”
Les Ross
Executive Vice President
Jencap Group
“The overall compliance topic is very important to our Group, including the core issues of ensuring that we have appropriate licenses and business registrations – and that they are properly maintained in a centralized/uniform manner. The 3H team has played an instrumental role in working with us to establish a national protocol that effectively addresses these elements of our compliance effort.”
Coryn Thalmann
CEO/COO
Jimcor Agency, Inc.
“We have been working with 3H Corporate Services for over 18 years. They have been doing all our licensing since then and we have never had a problem. They are extremely reliable, and therefore, we never have to follow up or worry that our license did not get renewed. When we have had an inquiry, they are and have been extremely responsive and courteous. I highly recommend them.”
Lacey Hudson
Licensing Coordinator
Starkweather & Shepley
“I now spend only 3 - 5 hours a month on managing licenses rather than 2 - 3 weeks! I highly recommend Creative Compliance Software Solutions.”
Bob Nosik
Vice President - Facilities
OneGroup
