Our top pick

1. Registered Agent MS.org: best for a Mississippi LLC that intends to stay put

$199 to form, then $99 a year for the agent, with the state fee extra

Score9.3out of 10

First place: Registered Agent MS.org. Mississippi formation costs $199 beyond the state's fee, with the registered agent free the first year, and $99 yearly keeps the agent.

An in-state street address serves as the registered office, and papers served on the company are scanned into your online account.

The annual report lies outside its published prices, so you file it with Mississippi every year.

It comes in under Mainstay Filing across three years.

What decided the order

Two criteria carry 31% each in this ranking, charge over three years and work taken off the founder. Renewal conduct, fit with local rules and pricing in plain sight share 38%, and in Mississippi the decisive one was charge over three years.

Over three years Registered Agent MS.org totals $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the annual report as well, yet an owner can do it alone at no cost, so the lower charge carried the ruling.

Each criterion and its weight appear on How we rank.
