No.1

Our top pick

1. Georgia Registered Agent.co: best for a Georgia LLC that expects to stay put

Score9.6out of 10
$199 for formation, then $99 a year for the agent, plus the state fee

Top grade, Georgia Registered Agent.co: $199 plus the Georgia filing fee, year-one registered agent service included, then $99 a year.

The plan seats the company at an in-state street address and posts scans of papers served there to your online account.

The annual registration is outside its published prices, so you submit it to Georgia yourself every year.

Over three years it costs less than Mainstay Filing, and cost is one of our two heaviest criteria.

Best all-in yearly price

3. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and annual registration on one invoice

Score9.0out of 10
$199 a year plus the state fee, $309 due at checkout

Third grade, Mainstay Filing: the formation filing, the registered agent and the annual registration come to $199 a year, renewing at $199.

Georgia Registered Agent.co is $200 cheaper across three years, and that difference lowers Mainstay Filing's cost grade.

  • The EIN application

Good

  • Georgia's state fee is passed through at cost

What decided the order

Biz Formation Report grades three-year bill and what the money buys at 32% each, leaving 36% for renewal handling, local rules match and pricing openness. In Georgia, three-year bill settled the order.

Total outlay with Georgia Registered Agent.co over three years: $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would add the annual registration filing, but owners can file it alone for the state fee, so the lower price decided the grade.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.
