1. AZ Registered Agent.org: best for an Arizona LLC that plans to stay local
Formation $199, then $99 a year for the agent, plus the state fee
out of 10
AZ Registered Agent.org wins here: a $199 formation fee on top of the state's own, then $99 a year for the agent.
The plan gives the company an in-state street address as its registered office, and papers served on the company are scanned to your online account.
The three-year total beats Mainstay Filing's, and that cost advantage carries real weight in our method.
What you get
- Arizona formation filed for you
- A year of statutory agent service up front
What we like
- Agent at $99 yearly from year two
- $199 to file, state fee extra
- The first statutory agent year is included
Cons
- The EIN application is billed separately ($99)
