If you’re in VA, go to the state website and do the steps to register.

There is one advantage to having a registered agent for any home based business. One can avoid having a million places list one's home address as the business address that way. PO Boxes are usually disallowed as the registered business address.
This is useful. Is there a registered agent you recommend?
I've been freelancing on the side. I have one main client and am paid by them as a freelancer but they have referred me to others, so I think it is time to start a LLC.
