You must pay an annual fee to the registered agent until your company has been dissolved. We recommend you pay a professional registered agent to provide this service. They will generally charge from $99 to $199 per year. We have an agreement with a registered agent service called Cogency Global that provides this service in every state for our clients for $99/year.In exchange for the fee, the registered agent will promptly forward any legal notices it receives on the companys behalf within 24 to 48 hours, remind you of annual filings, and inform the state of its continuing status as your companys registered agent.
