Our top pick in Utah

1. UT Registered Agent.org: best for an Utah LLC with no plans to expand

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

Editorial score 9.5 out of 10

The desk picks UT Registered Agent.org: Utah 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 Annual Report/Renewal out of its prices, so you send that filing to Utah yourself every year.

Its three-year bill sits under Mainstay Filing's, which counts heavily in our method.

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

$199 a year plus the state fee, $258 due at checkout

Editorial score 9.1 out of 10

Runner-up, Mainstay Filing: the formation, the registered agent and the annual report all ride on one $199 yearly price, renewing at $199.

Mainstay files the Annual Report/Renewal for you when you renew. Utah wants $18 every year, by last day of the entity's anniversary month, and a late filing tacks on $10; Mainstay hands the state's fee through at cost.

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

In the price

  • Formation paperwork prepared and filed
  • Registered agent service all year
  • Annual report, filed by Mainstay
  • EIN application handled

Strengths

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

Cons

  • Its agent renews at $100 a year more than UT Registered Agent.org

Behind the order

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 Utah, spend over three years made the call.

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