National list
3 Best LLC Services (2026)
Our nationwide picks
1. Mainstay Filing: best for one price nationwide
Mainstay Filing is first on the report card. The reason: three homework steps (filing, agent, yearly report) shrink into a single $199 bill in all fifty states.
A student based in Florida would save $200 over three years with FL Registered Agent.org, though that plan stops at the state line.
What the price covers
- Your formation is filed for you
- A registered agent for twelve months
- The state report is filed where the state has one
- The EIN application
Marks in its favor
- No change in price from state to state
- Renewal unchanged
- The annual or biennial report is included
Where it loses points
- More expensive than a local service
2. FL Registered Agent.org: best for Florida businesses
FL Registered Agent.org comes in at number 2: forming a Florida LLC costs $199 over the state fee.
Florida is the one state it covers, so a second state calls for a second provider.
What the price covers
- Your Florida formation is filed for you
- The first year of agent service in Florida
Marks in its favor
- A $99 renewal
- $99 a year after that
Where it loses points
- Nothing beyond Florida
- It does not file your report
3. Michigan Registered Agent.co: best for Michigan businesses
At number 3, Michigan Registered Agent.co: forming a Michigan LLC costs $199 over the state fee.
Michigan is the one state it covers, so a second state calls for a second provider.
What the price covers
- Your Michigan formation is filed for you
- The first year of agent service in Michigan
Marks in its favor
- A $99 renewal
- $99 a year after that
Where it loses points
- Nothing beyond Michigan
- It does not file your report

What a first-time founder should look for
The three-year cost and the steps handled tell you more than the first-year price does. A company that could expand later is better off with a provider that works everywhere.
Why this order
Three-year cost and steps handled carry the most weight; renewal, state fit and price clarity come next. A national list is read by founders in every state, so the provider that works for all of them is graded highest. Students based in Florida or Michigan can save with FL Registered Agent.org or Michigan Registered Agent.co.
