In New Jersey, Mainstay Filing is the best value since $199 over what New Jersey bills, and $149 a year for the agent from year two.
Paying $100 above Registered Agent NJ.org across three years takes the repeating filings off your plate.
Agent charge from year two: $149 a year, in any state.
To get the state figure, add the filing fee, two later reports and any minimum tax. Open-ended costs get a mention but no number.
Notes on the order
In New Jersey, the deciding measure was duties inside the charge (31% of the order), where Mainstay Filing came out ahead.
A foreign LLC already touches two states, so a provider covering both ranked first.
