Pricing a Louisiana Agent for the Years After the Bundle Ends

The author of this comparison sells the competing product. Louisiana Registered Agent.co provides registered agent service in this state at $99 per year, so a reader who acts on our recommendation pays us. That interest is disclosed here rather than buried, and the Bizee figures below are drawn from Bizee's published package terms without alteration.

The Bundled Period Has Genuine Value

Bizee, formerly Incfile, attaches registered agent service to its LLC formation packages without charge. The included period runs from three months to twelve, according to which package is bought. For an owner forming a Louisiana entity in any case, that inclusion is worth what it appears to be worth. We see no reason to diminish it and no basis on which to call it a gimmick.

The Question Is What Follows the Free Period

At the conclusion of the bundled term the standalone rate applies: $149 per year, continuing for as long as the appointment is held.

Two decisions are being conflated when a buyer evaluates only the bundle. The first is whether the formation package represented fair value, which it may well have. The second is whether $149 is a competitive annual rate for the ongoing statutory function, which is a separate question answered on separate evidence. A Louisiana LLC carries an agent of record for its entire existence, so the free months are a small opening fraction of a long obligation and the standalone rate governs the remainder.

One recommendation applies whichever provider you choose. Record the expiry of the bundled period in your own calendar on the day of purchase. A term that lapses without announcement is the ordinary mechanism by which an unexamined renewal is paid.

Why Continuity Carries Weight in This State

The consequences of a neglected agent appointment escalate in a particular direction in Louisiana. An entity that misses its annual report loses good standing at the anniversary date; sustained non-filing ends, after roughly three consecutive years, in revocation of the articles and administrative termination of the company under La. R.S. 12:1339. Restoration afterwards is a separate proceeding with its own fee.

Nothing in that sequence is exotic. It is simply what happens when official correspondence arrives at an address nobody is monitoring, which is why the reminder and forwarding functions of an agent are substantive rather than decorative.

The Basis of Our $99

The rate is $99 per year and the renewal invoice is identical to the first invoice, in every year, without an introductory period that expires. Process served at our Louisiana address is scanned on arrival and lodged in the client dashboard that same day, with email notice attached, since a response period runs from service rather than from discovery. Our Louisiana address stands in the public record in place of yours. We sell one service, which is why nothing is proposed at checkout beyond the item you came for.

The minimum published figure in this market belongs to BetterLegal at $90 per year, and we state that rather than allow an inference we have not earned. Our position is among the lowest flat annual rates available for Louisiana agent service, with same-day document handling contained within the price.

What It Costs to Take Bizee Off a Louisiana Registration

The change instrument the Secretary of State indexes as #983 goes to that office's Commercial Division, which holds your entity record. The fee stands at $25 today and reaches $30 on the first of October under this year's Act 921, now a matter of weeks rather than months. Electronic filing runs through geauxBIZ, where the incoming agent confirms by email; a paper filing must instead carry that agent's notarized affidavit of acknowledgment and acceptance, a formality this state takes seriously and one we complete on the client's behalf.

Timing deserves a moment of thought where a free period is involved. Nothing prevents the change being filed during the bundled months, and the filing does not terminate anything at Bizee by itself. Make the appointment, submit the change, wait for the record to show it, and cancel afterwards. A few unused dollars of a bundled term is a better outcome than a registered office field standing blank while a state office processes paperwork.
