Paracorp — The Only Employee-Owned Registered Agent in Sacramento
Understanding what makes Paracorp unique among Sacramento registered agents and what it means for legal document service.
The Only Employee-Owned Registered Agent in the Industry
Paracorp Incorporated (d/b/a Parasec) is unique among Sacramento’s registered agents: it is the only 100% employee-owned company in the entire registered agent industry. Every staff member at Paracorp has a direct financial stake in the company through its ESOP (employee stock ownership plan). This ownership model has kept Paracorp independent and Sacramento-headquartered for nearly 50 years — a distinction not shared by any other major registered agent in the region.
Why does this matter for corporate clients and process servers? Unlike CT Corporation (owned by Dutch multinational Wolters Kluwer), CSC Lawyers Incorporating Service (part of Corporation Service Company), or Sundoc Filings (acquired by Computershare/Corporate Creations), Paracorp has never been acquired by a larger parent company. The people who accept your documents are the same people who own the business.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that Paracorp is employee-owned?
Paracorp operates under an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), meaning all employees collectively own the company. There are no outside shareholders, no private equity owners, and no corporate parent. The staff members who run the company also own it.
Is Paracorp the only employee-owned registered agent?
According to Parasec’s own materials, they are “the only 100% employee-owned company in the industry.” All other major registered agents — CT Corporation, CSC, Cogency Global, Sundoc/Corporate Creations — are either subsidiaries of larger conglomerates or privately held by non-employee owners.
When was Paracorp founded?
Paracorp Incorporated was founded in 1977 and began offering commercial registered agent services nationwide in 1987. They have been headquartered in Sacramento since inception.
Does employee ownership affect service of process procedures?
Not procedurally — Paracorp accepts service of process the same way any registered agent does, under the same California Corporations Code requirements. The employee ownership model primarily affects company culture, stability, and service quality. For process servers, it means working with a team that has long tenure and takes ownership of the acceptance process.
