The plan covers an in-state street address for the registered office and online scans of legal papers served on the company. a California LLC formed through it costs $199 plus the state fee, with the first year of agent service included. Foreign registration in California runs $199 plus the state fee. Our reading: a fit for a California-only company that wants a fixed agent price and will file its own Statement of Information.
