Registered Agent Market Share

We have taken the overall number of entities listing registered agent companies from the following states:

South Dakota, Alaska, Missouri, and Arkansas. All data is direct from the states’ Secretary of State and Corporations Division websites. This main graph averages the total number of filings in each of those four states, not an average of all 51 states. We feel this graph accurately captures overall market share for national registered agent service providers. We specifically did not factor in Delaware, New York, Florida, Texas, Nevada, California, or Washington because those states are states where national registered agent service companies are headquartered. We also did not use states like Wyoming or Montana where people form holding companies. We estimate this graph to be accurate within a margin of error of 2% either way.

OVERALL MARKET SHARE BY STATE

The data for the following graphs was taken from the Division of Corporations Websites June 1st, 2014. These are ALL time numbers, meaning numbers regardless of whether the entities listing these registered agent companies are active or nonactive. We chose to present all time numbers because the companies listing these registered agents might still be a client of the registered agent company regardless of their corporate entity status at the state level.
