NH Registered Agent.org saves $200 across three years, but you do more of the work yourself.

Annual report filing is included, with the $100 state fee charged at cost.

Could I just file it on my own?

Nothing stops you. With no service, your three-year bill is the state's $300.

That $397 to $597 over three years is the price of having someone else handle it.

Why this order?

It comes down to paperwork covered, where Mainstay Filing does best.

65% of the score comes from three-year price and paperwork covered.

One detail decides it: the annual report sits inside the first pick's price, while NH Registered Agent.org leaves it with you.

Short Q&A

Is the EIN part of the price?

Mainstay Filing includes the EIN application. For the others the extra charge is: NH Registered Agent.org $99; New Hampshire Registered Agent.co $99.

Does the state charge for a late report?

Expect to owe $50 extra.

What does each charge over three years?

Where are these numbers from?

We link each state fee to its official page and take service prices from the company sites, dated.

Do I need outside help?

Hiring is optional. The law asks for a filing, not for a filer.

Mainstay Filing first: the annual report is part of the $199 annual price, next to formation and the registered agent. NH Registered Agent.org and New Hampshire Registered Agent.co follow.
