2. Mainstay Filing: best for fewer yearly stops to remember

Goes anywhereLeg one $199, later legs $199; state toll separate

Continuing, Mainstay Filing is the second alternative, since the owner pays $199 per year and gets the Virginia formation plus the stops that repeat: registered agent duty and the annual registration fee.

Each renewal includes the Annual Registration Fee stop, and the state's $50 toll is billed at cost.

The fare covers

  • Leg one done for you: the formation is drafted and filed
  • Registered agent duty held through the year
  • The annual registration fee drafted and sent in by Mainstay
  • The EIN application is part of the route
  • State tolls at cost, nothing added

On the plus side

  • Takes care of the EIN application
  • The renewal fare holds at $199
  • One yearly fare of $199, with the annual registration fee on board

On the minus side

  • A yearly bill $100 larger than VA Registered Agent.org's
