Commercial registered agents bring business with unintended consequences

SHERIDAN — It started slowly — a phone call here and there in which the caller sought help reaching a business supposedly located in Sheridan. The staff at the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce, though, hadn’t heard of most of the businesses to which callers referred.

That was four or five years ago. Now, staff members at the Chamber receive multiple calls each week from customers seeking answers from businesses they believe operate in Sheridan.

“The reason we’re getting the calls is because customers who have done business with these companies were unhappy and dissatisfied and hadn’t been able to reach anyone,” said Dixie Johnson, Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce CEO, adding that rarely were any of the calls about the same business. “Once they realized the business was here, they would call the Chamber in hopes we could help.”
