  2. Lowest first-year cost: Bizee ($0 for year 1 with an agent; $498 over 3 years with Virginia 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
  3. Lowest three-year cost: Northwest Registered Agent ($289 over 3 years; $489 over 3 years with Virginia 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
