Serving Corporations and Businesses in Beverly Hills

Beverly Hills is home to numerous entertainment companies, talent agencies, hedge funds, family offices, and professional service firms. Serving a corporation, LLC, or other business entity in California requires identifying the correct registered agent on file with the California Secretary of State.

Before ordering service on a business, verify the registered agent at the official California Secretary of State Business Search. If the registered agent is CT Corporation System, CSC (Corporation Service Company), or another commercial registered agent, Direct Legal can serve those locations as well.

Key Rules for Serving a Business in Beverly Hills

Service on a corporation may be made on the designated registered agent, or on any officer, director, or general manager at the company’s principal place of business (CCP § 416.10).

Service on an LLC may be made on any member, manager, or agent authorized to accept service (CCP § 416.40).

If the entity’s registered agent is a commercial registered agent (such as CT Corp), service at that agent’s address constitutes valid service on the entity — no need to locate an officer.

A business entity cannot be served at a P.O. box; a physical street address is required.

Personal Service (CCP § 415.10)

The preferred method of service in California is personal delivery of the documents directly to the individual being served. This is the most defensible form of service and is always attempted first by Direct Legal process servers in Beverly Hills.
