Number one here

1. GA Registered Agent.org: best for a Georgia LLC that expects to stay at home

$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, and the state fee on top

Editor score9.3out of 10

GA Registered Agent.org takes the top spot because the Georgia formation runs $199 above the state's fee, with the registered agent free for a year and $99 yearly to keep the agent.

The registered office is an in-state street address supplied by the plan, and any papers served on the company show up as scans in your online account.

Its published prices leave out the annual registration, so the owner files it with Georgia every year.

The three-year bill is where it beats Mainstay Filing, and that criterion has the most weight along with coverage.

GA Registered Agent.org adds up to $397 over three years, which is $200 below Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the annual registration too, but an owner can do that alone for the state fee, so the smaller price won this page.
