Our top pick

1. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and annual registration wrapped into one price

$199 yearly, state fee billed on top ($309 at checkout in all)

Our mark 9.4 out of 10

Top grade, Mainstay Filing: the Georgia formation, your registered agent and the annual registration are bundled at $199 a year.

When renewal comes, Mainstay prepares and files the annual registration so it is off your list. The Georgia fee is $60 every year, with a April 1 deadline, and being late adds $25; Mainstay passes the fee along at cost.

It runs $200 above Georgia Registered Agent.co across three years; the extra paperwork it handles is worth that to us.

In the price

  • The formation filing, done for you
  • Registered agent duty for the whole year
  • Annual registration, prepared and filed each cycle
  • Your EIN application, done for you

Pros

  • Your EIN application is included
  • A single $199 yearly price that covers the annual registration
  • Georgia's fee goes through at cost
  • Renews at $199 without add-ons

How we graded this list

Two criteria weigh 26% each in these grades: cost to launch and stay and launch paperwork handled. Renewal behavior, state match and price transparency share 48%, and Georgia turned on launch paperwork handled.

The state's report comes annually in Georgia, at $60, and a late one adds $25. Mainstay's price takes that filing off your list and Georgia Registered Agent.co's does not, so coverage beat Georgia Registered Agent.co's lower three-year cost.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.
