ZenBusiness — Agent for Service of Process in California
ZenBusiness represents thousands of California entities as their designated agent for service of process.
Understanding ZenBusiness as an Agent for Service of Process
Under California Corporations Code, every corporation and LLC doing business in the state must designate an agent for service of process. ZenBusiness Inc. is one of the designated agents under Section 1505, with a Sacramento office at 2520 Venture Oaks Way, Suite 120. They represent a growing number of California entities — primarily small businesses and LLCs that formed through ZenBusiness’s online platform and selected their registered agent service.
When ZenBusiness is designated as the agent, any legal document — summons, subpoena, writ, or court order — directed at the corporation or LLC must be delivered to ZenBusiness’s office. In California, that office is Suite 120 at 2520 Venture Oaks Way. Service must be personal: a process server must physically hand the documents to an authorized ZenBusiness employee during business hours.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an agent for service of process?
An agent for service of process is the person or company designated by a corporation or LLC to receive legal documents on its behalf. California law requires every such entity to maintain an agent with a physical address in the state. ZenBusiness has served this role for California businesses since establishing their Sacramento office.
Is service on ZenBusiness the same as serving the entity directly?
Yes. Under California law, personal service on an entity’s designated agent for service of process constitutes valid service on the entity itself. The response deadline begins when ZenBusiness accepts the documents.
What if the entity changed its registered agent away from ZenBusiness?
Always verify the current registered agent by searching the California Secretary of State website before serving. Companies can and do change their agents. We also verify on our end before dispatching service.
Can ZenBusiness be the agent for a nonprofit or PLLC?
No. ZenBusiness does not serve as registered agent for nonprofits or PLLCs (Professional Limited Liability Companies). If the entity you need to serve is either type, confirm the actual registered agent through the Secretary of State.
