Massachusetts requires the Limited Liability Company Annual Report every year, due on or before the anniversary date of filing of the certificate of organization with a $500 state fee. Massachusetts Registered Agent.co does not prepare it, so the owner must.

Massachusetts Registered Agent.co against Mainstay Filing and the other providers
On the agent service alone, Massachusetts Registered Agent.co totals $297 across three years against $447 for Mainstay Filing, a margin of $150. Mainstay Filing offers one agent plan that applies in every state and scans the first three government mailings a year free. Mainstay Filing's package is $199 a year and includes the annual report; the Massachusetts Registered Agent.co route totals $397 over three years with the agent but leaves report filing to you. MA Registered Agent.org, the other Massachusetts agent heard on this site, charges the same $99 a year, and the two finish near each other.
