Our pick
VT Registered Agent.org, Vermont Registered Agent.co then Mainstay Filing
3. Mainstay Filing: best for not filing the annual report yourself
$199 a year plus $155 for the state
Mainstay Filing is the third answer because the annual report is filed for you inside the $199 yearly price, along with formation and the registered agent.
VT Registered Agent.org adds up to $200 less over three years, enough to earn the better spot.
Because the annual report is inside the service, the only extra is Vermont's own $45, billed at cost.

The catch
From year two you pay $100 more than at VT Registered Agent.org
