1. IN Registered Agent.org: best for an Indiana LLC with no plans to expand

Form for $199; the agent is $99 a year after that, plus the state fee

Editorial score 9.2 out of 10

The desk picks IN Registered Agent.org: Indiana formation for $199 on top of the state's fee, year-one agent included, then $99 a year to keep the agent.

You get an in-state street address as the registered office, and papers served there are scanned into your account.

It leaves the business entity report out of its prices, so you send that filing to Indiana yourself every two years.

It wins the three-year cost comparison with Mainstay Filing.

  • A year of registered agent service comes in the price

2. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and business entity report in a single price

$199 a year plus the state fee, $294 due at checkout

Editorial score 8.8 out of 10

Runner-up, Mainstay Filing: one $199 yearly bill covers the Indiana formation filing, the registered agent and the business entity report.

Mainstay files the business entity report for you when you renew. Indiana wants $32 every two years, by last day of the entity's anniversary month, every 2 years; Mainstay hands the state's fee through at cost.

IN Registered Agent.org undercuts Mainstay Filing by $200 over three years, and that is why Mainstay sits lower on cost.

In the price

  • The formation, prepared and filed for you
  • A registered agent for twelve months
  • Business entity report, filed by Mainstay
  • EIN application handled

Strengths

  • $199 on renewal, nothing extra
  • Indiana's fee passes through at cost
  • One $199 yearly price that takes in the business entity report
  • EIN application comes with the package

Cons

Here is the weighting: 33% for spend over three years, 33% for work the price removes, 34% spread over what renewal looks like, fit with the state and plain price display. In Indiana, spend over three years made the call.

IN Registered Agent.org comes to $397 over three years, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the business entity report too, but an owner can do that alone for just the state fee, so the lower price won.
