Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts

Registered agent service, with the annual report actually filed.

We hold the address, scan anything served on your company the same business day, and file your annual report every year. The only paper you will ever get from us is none.

From $129/year per entity. No setup fee. Cancel any time before renewal.

  • Service of process scanned same day
  • Annual report filed, not just flagged
  • Electronic billing — no paper invoices

Why this is different

A registered agent is an address. That is not the part that bites you.

The address is the easy half. The half that actually costs people their good standing is the annual report — and most agent services will remind you about it, then charge you again to file it.

Our Compliance tier is one number a year. The report gets prepared and filed, the state's fee is passed through at cost, and the confirmation comes back to you. Nothing to remember, nothing to approve at the last minute, no invoice in the mail.

What every tier includes

  • A real street address in the state

    Satisfies the statute. Your home address stays off the public record.

  • Same-day scanned service of process

    Anything served on your company is scanned and emailed the same business day it arrives.

  • Electronic everything

    Notices, invoices, confirmations, receipts. Auto-pay on renewal so nothing lapses over an unpaid invoice.

  • Free switching

    We prepare the change filing and pay the state's change fee when you move to us.

How it works

Switching takes about five minutes.

You give us the entity and the contact. We do the filing and the follow-up.

  1. 1

    Tell us the entity

    Name and charter number. We pull the rest from the state's record so you are not retyping what they already have.

  2. 2

    We file the change

    We prepare the statement of change, file it with the Secretary of State, and pay the state's change fee ourselves.

  3. 3

    You stop tracking it

    Anything served on you is scanned the same day. Your annual report is filed each year and the confirmation comes back to you.

Questions

The things people ask first

What does a registered agent actually do?
It is the address of record where the state, the courts, and any process server reach your company. Every LLC and corporation has to keep one on file continuously, at a physical street address in the state — a post office box will not satisfy the requirement. If a lawsuit is served and nobody is there to receive it, the case can move forward without you knowing about it.
Can I be my own registered agent?
In most cases yes, if you have a street address in the state and you are there during business hours. Two things push people to use a service: the address becomes part of the public record, and being served in person at your home or in front of staff is not how most owners want to find out they are being sued.
Does switching agents interrupt anything?
No. Your entity keeps its charter number, its formation date, and its standing. The only thing that changes is the address the state has on file for notices. We prepare the change filing and pay the state's change fee.
Is the annual report included?
On the Compliance and Shield tiers we prepare and file it every year, and the state's filing fee is billed to you at cost with no markup. On the Agent tier we send you deadline reminders but you file it yourself.
