Best-for picks with Indiana costs
- Best overall: Mainstay Filing ($597 over 3 years; $724 over 3 years with Indiana costs). One $199 price a year covers the formation filing, registered agent, EIN application and annual report, and it stays $199 at renewal.
- Lowest first-year cost: Bizee ($0 for year 1 with an agent; $425 over 3 years with Indiana costs). Its entry package is $0 plus the state fee and the registered agent is free for the first year when you form with it. Why
- Lowest three-year cost: Northwest Registered Agent ($289 over 3 years; $416 over 3 years with Indiana costs). A $39 package with the agent included the first year, then a $125 agent, adds up to the smallest service total over three years. Why
