Formation, agent and report

2. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and information report on one invoice

Score8.8out of 10
$199 a year plus the state fee, $284 due at checkout

Second grade, Mainstay Filing: $199 a year buys the Kansas formation, a year as your resident agent and the information report filing, then renews at $199.

The renewal covers the information report, which Mainstay files for you. Kansas collects $90 every two years, with a deadline of 15th day of the 4th month after tax-year-end; Mainstay passes the state's fee through at cost.

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

All prices were taken from the companies' own websites on November 12, 2026. Kansas's $85 filing fee is payable on top of each row and is not part of these totals.

How the grades were set

The grading method assigns 32% to three-year bill and 32% to what the money buys, with renewal handling, local rules match and pricing openness taking 36%. For Kansas, three-year bill decided it.

Total outlay with KS Registered Agent.org over three years: $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would add the information report 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.
