2. Mainstay Filing: best for owners who want upkeep handled

Annual price $199, renewal price $199, state fee on top

  • Biennial report filed for you
  • EIN application submitted
  • No markup on state fees

Can I file it myself instead of hiring a service?

Nothing stops you. Without a service your three-year bill is the state's $125.

A service adds $397 to $597 across three years, and with Mainstay Filing the reports are inside that figure.

Why is the list in this order?

On what you pay over three years, worth 33%, Nebraska Registered Agent.co comes out ahead.

We weigh five questions: what you pay over three years (33%), chores the price takes care of (29%), answers on the price page (14%), what happens at renewal (13%) and room to add states (11%).

Pick Nebraska Registered Agent.co over Mainstay Filing and keep $200 across three years.
