3 Best LLC Services in Utah (2026)

By the Biz Formation Report editorial team

Biz Formation Report ranks LLC services in Utah for 2026 as Mainstay Filing ($199), UT Registered Agent.org ($199) and Utah Registered Agent.co ($199), in that order. Mainstay Filing earns the top grade: the formation filing, the registered agent and the annual report come to $199 a year, renewing at $199.

No.1

Our top pick in Utah

1. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and annual report on one invoice

Score9.4out of 10
$199 a year plus the state fee, $258 due at checkout

Top grade, Mainstay Filing: a flat $199 yearly fee takes in the Utah formation, your registered agent and the annual report.

The renewal covers the Annual Report/Renewal, which Mainstay files for you. Utah collects $18 every year, with a deadline of last day of the entity's anniversary month, and a late filing adds $10; Mainstay passes the state's fee through at cost.

Over three years Mainstay costs $200 more than UT Registered Agent.org; our grading treats the broader coverage as worth that.

All prices were taken from the companies' own websites on November 12, 2026. Utah's $59 filing fee is payable on top of each row and is not part of these totals.

The basis for the order

Of the grade, 32% rests on three-year bill and 32% on what the money buys; renewal handling, local rules match and pricing openness share the remaining 36%. What the money buys decided Utah.

Utah requires a report every year, charging $18, plus $10 if it is late. Mainstay's price includes the filing and UT Registered Agent.org's does not, which outweighed UT Registered Agent.org's lower three-year cost in the coverage grade.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.
