Free Months First, $149 Afterward

Stated plainly so it does not have to be inferred: Massachusetts Registered Agent.co competes with Bizee for the business this page discusses and profits if you switch. The Bizee pricing is quoted from their own published material rather than paraphrased into something less flattering.

The Bundle Delivers Actual Value

Bizee, formerly Incfile, attaches free registered agent coverage to its formation packages, running from three months to a full year depending on which package you buy. For a founder who was going to file through Bizee regardless, that is money staying in the business. The Commonwealth requires an agent from the moment a Certificate of Organization is accepted, so a stretch of that coverage at no charge has straightforward value, and refusing it would be a strange choice to make on principle.

The Standalone Rate Behind the Free Period

Once the included window closes, standalone service bills at $149 a year. Bizee publishes that figure, and the criticism here is not about disclosure. It is about how included periods behave. A cost that begins at zero never establishes a habit of watching for it, and a three-month window in particular expires while a new owner is still occupied with banking, licensing, and first revenue.

The useful comparison is between recurring rates, since the agent obligation is permanent and the free months are not.

Two hundred and fifty dollars across five years of the same duty performed the same way.

Why $99 Never Becomes Something Else

No promotional period exists on our side, so there is nothing here to convert. $99 buys a year and the following year is also $99. Inside it: same-business-day scanning of service of process received at our Massachusetts office, notification by email as it happens, our address on the public filing rather than yours, portal access from any device, and reminders keyed to your own anniversary date.

The lowest published price in Massachusetts belongs to BetterLegal at $90, not to us, and writing that is better than letting a reader assume otherwise. Ours belongs to the low band of published rates, holds flat, and carries the scanning inside it.

The arithmetic deserves one piece of local context. This Commonwealth already collects $500 from an LLC every year for its annual report, or $520 when the report goes in electronically, which makes the agent line one of very few recurring costs an owner is in a position to shrink.

What the Commonwealth Actually Inspects

Whichever way you decide, the state's test is narrow. Under 950 CMR 112.13 the resident agent's office has to be an actual street address, since a post office address will not satisfy the requirement. That same regulation widens the eligibility list past the statute, admitting further business entities that are authorized by law and qualified here. Price forms no part of the test, which is precisely why price is a reasonable thing to decide on.

Ending the Bizee Arrangement in Massachusetts

One form does it, a Statement of Change covering the resident agent and the resident office, and the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Corporations Division charges nothing for it electronically or $25 on paper. It can go in on any business day, including one inside the free window. Retain the replacement before submitting, since the form must carry the successor's name, and leave no interval in which your entity sits without an agent of record. Our change of agent instructions cover the rest.
