BizFilings LLC pricing (2026)

What does each BizFilings plan cost?

Each plan is one payment for the formation, quoted before the state's filing fee. The cards show every item BizFilings provided for each tier, with a clock on the agent months.

The step from Basic to Core buys two things: the EIN, the federal tax ID a bank asks for, and certified copies. Bought on its own, the EIN costs $79. A Basic buyer who adds only the EIN therefore pays less than the Core price, but goes without the certified copies and waits longer for submission.⁴

The step to All-Inclusive adds 1-day rush filing, a Certificate of Good Standing and business license research. On its own a good standing certificate is $39 + state fees, and BizFilings doesn't publish a price for the license research alone. On the checkout BizFilings provided, the All-Inclusive card is marked "SAVE 40%", yet no undiscounted price is shown.^{1, 5}

The fourth card is the Foreign Business U.S. Incorporation Package at $389 plus state fees, for owners outside the U.S. Its price comes from BizFilings' public page, while the three LLC plan prices were provided by BizFilings from a checkout set up to "kickstart your LLC in Alaska". Our record does not say whether those prices differ in other states.^{1, 6}

Our rating compares Core, which keeps 1 of the services we count for good; with it BizFilings rates 6.8 out of ten. The BizFilings review explains who each plan fits.

What does BizFilings cost in the second year?

No formation plan renews, so the second-year bill depends on what you kept. For a buyer with no add-ons, that is the registered agent alone.

• Basic: one-time
• Core: one-time
• All-Inclusive: one-time
• Foreign Business U.S. Incorporation Package (non-U.S. owners): No package renewal stated; included RA renews at $167/yr

The agent is where the first and second years differ from the sticker price. Each LLC plan includes the agent 3 months free. After that, BizFilings bills $220/yr, and buyers are automatically enrolled in BizFilings' auto-pay program. BizFilings says it sends notice approximately a month before auto renewal, which gives time to cancel or switch.^{2, 3, 7}

So a buyer who keeps the agent pays the plan price plus a full agent year in the first year, then the agent again in the second. Our figure for Core across both years is $199 before state fees; it counts the plan only, not the agent.

Prepaying is cheaper per year. BizFilings lets you select two years of Registered Agent Service for $370 or three years for $489. The non-U.S. package lists Free Registered Agent Service for 6 months, after which the agent renews at $167/yr.^{3, 6}

Annual report filing is not in any LLC plan. BizFilings' Managed Annual Report Service carries no set price; its own service list shows "Volume Pricing". BizComply, the deadline tracker, costs $75 a year on its own and is free while you keep the agent.^{8, 9}

How much is BizFilings rush filing?

On All-Inclusive, rush filing is part of the price, so there is no extra charge for its stated 1 business day (submitted). BizFilings doesn't publish a rush price for Basic or Core.¹

BizFilings also describes a separate Rush Filing Service that secures the LLC's name and filed date in as little as 24 hours. BizFilings doesn't publish its price, it applies only in some states, and BizFilings doesn't say which plans include it. Our guide to how long LLC approval takes covers state timing.¹⁰

What does the BizFilings registered agent cost on its own?

Bought without a formation order, the agent is $220 for the first year. BizFilings' service overview shows a slightly higher figure, $230/year, and our record uses the price on the agent's own page.³

Refunds follow fixed deductions. A cancelled formation order comes back less a $70 processing fee, or $95 after preliminary name check. State and supplier fees are not refunded, and agent cancellations are not refunded pro rata.⁷

Are state fees included in BizFilings prices?

No. BizFilings quotes its plan prices and filing add-ons plus state fees, and the state's charge depends on where you form. The median state LLC filing fee across the states we track is $100.

Later state filings come with a BizFilings service fee plus the state's own fee. Amendments are $159 + state fees, and registering in another state is $249 + state fees. Sales tax registration service starts at $219. A compliance kit with a sample operating agreement costs $129.^{5, 11, 12}

The state fee table lists every state, and the cost calculator adds a plan to your state's fee. Other providers' prices are in every plan we compare and on the cheapest LLC services list. The BizFilings alternatives page groups rivals by the reason someone might switch.
