1. UT Registered Agent.org: best for an Utah LLC that plans to stay local

Formation $199, then $99 a year for the agent, plus the state fee

9.2Editorial score
out of 10

UT Registered Agent.org wins here: $199 plus the Utah filing fee, with the first year of registered agent service included, then $99 a year.

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 Annual Report/Renewal filing is not in its published prices, so you file it with Utah yourself every year.

The three-year total beats Mainstay Filing's, and that cost advantage carries real weight in our method.

  • A year of registered agent service up front

What we like

  • $199 to file, state fee extra
