The Mississippi ranking

Ranked best first by the tests on our process page.

#1 Number 1

1. Mainstay Filing: best for owners who want upkeep done for them

$199 per year, renewing at $199

First place: Mainstay Filing, where $199 a year pays for forming the LLC, serving as its registered agent and filing the annual report, and it renews at $199.

Is it the smaller bill? No. Mississippi Registered Agent.co is $200 less over three years, and the gap buys more of the paperwork.

It files the annual report too, and the state charges nothing for it.
