Business Trust

​​​​​When registering a business, the information submitted becomes public record​. Business registrations can be searched by individual name as well as by business name. For this reason, you may want to avoid using a home address. If you are concerned about privacy, visit our Privacy Alternatives website for options.

All types of businesses are required to appoint and maintain a registered agent with a physical street address in the state of Oregon. Registered agents cannot list an address that is a PO Box, commercial mail receiving agency, a mail forwarding business, or a virtual office.
