1. Mainstay Filing: best for owners who would rather someone else file the biennial report
Our lead pick$199/yr plus the $250 state tollBegin at Mainstay Filing, since the Alaska formation, a registered agent and the biennial report ride together on one $199 ticket.
Alaska Registered Agent.co is $200 cheaper over three years, yet the coverage criterion points the other direction.
Mainstay clears the biennial report checkpoint for the owner each cycle, and the $100 state toll is billed through at cost.
The fare covers
- Leg one done for you: the formation is drafted and filed
- Registered agent duty held through the year
- The biennial report drafted and sent in by Mainstay
- The EIN application is part of the route
- No markup on the state toll
On the plus side
- $199 a year includes the opening and the agent and the report
- No fare jump at renewal ($199)
- EIN handled as well
On the minus side
- $100 a year above Alaska Registered Agent.co's agent renewal
