1. NH Registered Agent.org: best for a New Hampshire LLC that wants to stay close to home

Our mark 9.2 out of 10

Top grade, NH Registered Agent.org: $199 for formation plus the state fee, then $99 yearly for the agent.

$199 yearly, state fee billed on top

Our mark 8.7 out of 10

Next up is Mainstay Filing: the New Hampshire formation, your registered agent and the annual report are bundled at $199 a year.

  • Year-round service as your registered agent
  • Annual report, prepared and filed each cycle
