99.4% of Missouri businesses are small businesses — and a service can cut your LLC filing down to a 10-12 minute form, based on our testing.

ZenBusiness scored best overall: Starter is $0 plus Missouri's $50 state filing fee, and our test filing was approved in four days. Prefer more hands-on help? Northwest bundles a registered agent free for year one, then $125 annually.

Massachusetts doesn't call it a registered agent — it's a resident agent, and a P.O. box won't qualify.

State law (MGL Chapter 156C) requires a physical in-state street address. Switching agents later is free online, but a paper filing costs $25, so it pays to choose right the first time.

The number worth comparing isn't the first-year price. ZenBusiness renews at $199 after a $99 first year, while Northwest holds at $125. Read the renewal column first.

Montana approves a standard online LLC filing in about 5 to 6 business days — or roughly 1 hour if you add $100 for expedited review.

The state filing fee is $35, and Montana only accepts filings through its online Business Filing Portal. There's no mail-in option. Every LLC also needs a registered agent with a physical Montana address.

Paying for speed doesn't fix a filing with missing or incorrect information. The state still bounces those back.

Nevada LLCs cost $425 before you file a single page: $75 for the Articles of Organization, $150 Initial List and $200 State Business License due at formation.

That's only the start. The Annual List and business license renewal add another $350 every year, and Nevada requires a registered agent with a Nevada street address — which is why many owners use a service instead of listing a home address.

We formed an LLC with every provider we reviewed to see who handles that Nevada stack cleanly.

Idaho's LLC annual report costs $0 to file online — and it's still due by the last day of your LLC's anniversary month.

File through SOSBiz, Idaho's Secretary of State portal. The window opens up to 60 days before the due date, and the system verifies each required field before you sign and file. Keep the email on your SOSBiz account current, since that's where the reminder goes.

Idaho charges no late fee, but miss the filing and the state can administratively dissolve your LLC 60 days after it sends notice. Reinstatement is $30.

New Mexico clears most online LLC filings in 1 to 3 business days — and there's no rush option to buy.

The state charges $50 to file, and every application now goes through SOS Enterprise. Paper and walk-in formation filings aren't accepted, so a clean, complete application is the only real speed advantage you can get.

Two avoidable mistakes push filings into a second review: a P.O. box listed for your registered agent (state law requires a real New Mexico street address) and incomplete member details. New Mexico also skips the annual report entirely.

Changing your Florida LLC's registered agent costs $25 on Form INHS18 — or nothing extra if you do it inside your Annual Report.

The standalone form needs your new agent's signature accepting the appointment, plus a Florida street address (no P.O. boxes). Mail it to the Division of Corporations' P.O. Box in Tallahassee, not the street address.

Prefer the Annual Report route? The agent update is a field in that filing, due May 1. The report itself is $138.75, with a $400 late fee if you miss it.

Full step-by-step is on the site.

Switching your LLC's registered agent in Colorado costs just a $10 state fee.

But choosing the right service from the start saves more hassle. When we tested 8 top providers, we found renewal prices are more important than first-year deals. Some services double their fee after year one.

Our top pick, Northwest Registered Agent, has held its $125 renewal price steady for years and includes address privacy by default.

See our full side-by-side comparison of Colorado agents.
