About Filing Verdict
Filing Verdict is a small publication that hands first-time founders a verdict on filing services, one state at a time: who should form the LLC, who should act as registered agent and who should register a company in a new state.
What the site covers
Every state gets three rankings (registered agents, LLC formation and foreign registration), and every ranked company gets a review. A page opens with the answer, then lays out the three-year prices and the state's own rules.
Who writes it
Filing Verdict is written and kept current by its editorial team. The team is not a law firm, and the pages are not legal or tax advice.
How the site is paid
Filing Verdict is reader-supported. We may earn money when you buy through links on this page, and the companies we rank are our partners. Prices come from each company's own pages and official state sources.
The method in brief
One method sits behind every list, set out on How we rank.
