2. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and annual registration for one price

9.1Editorial score
out of 10

Second place goes to Mainstay Filing: the Georgia formation, your registered agent and the annual registration all sit in a single $199 yearly charge.

  • $199 at renewal, nothing extra
  • The EIN application comes with it

Cons
