We built the agent we couldn’t find.
Garden State Agency is family-owned and run like a firm. The same family runs Acre Man Insurance Services, a licensed insurance agency in 23 states, so deadlines, filings and paperwork are the trade. Our own team answers the phone in English, Spanish and Hebrew, 8am to 8pm ET.
What we are
- Your registered agent in all 50 states and DC, with the same team watching every account.
- In New Jersey we are the agent of record ourselves, and the address on your filing is our office in Highland Lakes.
- One family and one balance sheet, with nobody outside it setting your next price.
- Our own team on the phone, not a call center.
What we are not
- Not a law firm. No legal advice.
- Not a mailbox store with a compliance page bolted on.
- Not a data broker. We don’t sell, rent or trade your filing details.
- Not open to walk-ins. It is a working floor, so visits are by appointment.
Every document. Every state. Same procedure.
When the state, or a court, writes to your company, this is what happens.
- Received in personBy the agent of record: our office in New Jersey, a licensed agent elsewhere. Court papers are signed for, and every handoff is logged.
- Scanned in fullEvery page, not a photo of the envelope. In by 3pm ET on a business day, in your inbox that evening. Anything later is there the next business morning.
- Flagged in plain wordsWhat it is and any deadline printed on it, in English, Spanish or Hebrew.
- Followed to the deadlineThe date goes on our calendar, and we write to you before it, not after.
House rules
The short list of things we decided never to do.
Written down so you can hold us to them.
- Never: A year-two price you did not see before you paid.
- Never: A renewal above the published price.
- Never: A fee for paying a fee.
- Never: Your data, sold or rented. Not to brokers, not to anyone.
- Never: A phone tree where a person should be.
- Never: “Contact sales for pricing.”
Two lines, never blended
A New Jersey LLC formation on its own, as it appears on the receipt:
If a state fee is $0 we print the zero: our favorite line item.
If you are building here from somewhere else
The forms assume you grew up here.
Plenty of founders register a US company before they ever set foot in a US bank.
Legal documents stay in English. The team explains them in English, Spanish or Hebrew.
The team answers in
- English
- Español
- עברית
By WhatsApp, text, email or phone.
That’s the whole company. The rest is doing it on time.
Registered agent: $34.99 a year in New Jersey, $89 in every other state and DC. Same at renewal.
