Number one here

1. Mainstay Filing: best for all fifty states

$149 a year, flat

Our mark 9.2 out of 10

Top grade, Mainstay Filing: one agent plan at $149 a year that works in every state, renewing at $149.

Launching a new company? The $199 yearly package also takes care of the Indiana filing and the business entity report.

It runs $150 above IN Registered Agent.org across three years; the extra paperwork it handles is worth that to us.

In the price

  • A physical registered office address inside the state
  • Free scan of served papers the same business day they arrive
  • No fee to scan the first three government mailings you get each year
  • Compliance reminders

Pros

  • $149 a year and it does not rise
  • Papers served on the company are scanned the same business day, free
  • Works for LLCs, corporations, LPs, LLPs and nonprofits
  • Your first three government letters each year are scanned free

Less good

  • The agent plan alone costs $50 a year more than IN Registered Agent.org
  • This plan leaves the annual report to you; the formation package files it

The thinking behind the order

Launchwise Review puts 26% on cost to launch and stay and 26% on launch paperwork handled, then spreads 48% over renewal behavior, state match and price transparency. For Indiana, the call came down to launch paperwork handled.

Mainstay's plan covers more ground: papers served on the company are scanned the same business day at no charge, the price is the same in all fifty states, and three government letters a year are scanned free. IN Registered Agent.org costs less, and the grades are close.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.

Indiana registered agent rules, straight from Indiana Secretary of State

Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address. The address has to be a physical street address in Indiana. P.O. boxes are not accepted. Law behind it: Ind. Code § 23-0.5-4-3.

Indiana business entity report: date and fee

Put the business entity report on your Indiana calendar every two years. Count on a $32 state charge, with the deadline at last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years. Your registered agent receives the state's notices about it.

Quick answers about Indiana registered agents

Do I have to line up a registered agent before launching an Indiana LLC?

Yes. Put a registered agent with a physical Indiana address on the paperwork, because the state will not accept an LLC without one.

What should I budget each year for a Indiana registered agent?

Expect $99 to $149 a year, and each company keeps its price at renewal.

Could I just serve as my own registered agent?

Often yes, if you meet the state's conditions. An individual, a general partnership, an Indiana filing entity, or a foreign entity registered in Indiana. A business cannot serve as its own agent.

When does the Indiana business entity report come due?

Put last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years on your calendar. The state asks $32.

Which registered agents are graded on this page?

Mainstay Filing ($149 a year), IN Registered Agent.org ($99 a year) and Indiana Registered Agent.co ($99 a year), top grade first.

Which Indiana registered agent should a new company pick first?

Mainstay Filing, because the price stays $149 a year if you stay put or expand, and your first three government letters each year are scanned free.
