- Signing up takes a few minutes from your CompanySage dashboard, with no separate paperwork to track down on your own.
What's Included in CompanySage's Registered Agent Service
When CompanySage is your registered agent, we're the officially listed point of contact between your business and the state. That means we accept service of process, compliance notices, and other official correspondence on your behalf, then get it in front of you so nothing sits unnoticed in a mailbox.
Registered agent service is one part of CompanySage's Standard Compliance plan. Signing up for that plan gets you:
- Registered agent coverage in the state, or states, where your business is registered.
- Mail scanning — five free scans a year, posted to your CompanySage dashboard, plus physical forwarding on request.
- Annual report filing and compliance, where you pay only the state fee.
- Corporate Transparency Act compliance support, so beneficial ownership reporting stays on your radar.
- Annual meeting minutes and a physical business address, included in the same plan.
Everything runs through the same client dashboard you'd use for the rest of your CompanySage account, so registered agent notices, compliance reminders, and scanned mail all live in one place instead of scattered across separate services.

How CompanySage's Registered Agent Service Works
Sign up for the Standard Compliance plan
We're listed as your registered agent
Documents are scanned and uploaded
You review everything from your dashboard
Whether you're forming a brand-new company or moving your registered agent over from somewhere else, the day-to-day experience is the same: mail comes in, we scan it, and it shows up in your dashboard.
Registered Agent Service Pricing
CompanySage doesn't sell registered agent service as a standalone, one-off product. It's included in the Standard Compliance plan, starting at $14.99/month, which also covers annual report filing (state fee only), several free mail scans a year, Corporate Transparency Act compliance support, annual meeting minutes, and a physical business address.
Two higher compliance tiers build on the same registered agent service: the Professional plan at $29.99/month adds unlimited mail scans and additional document templates, and Virtual Office+ at $49.99/month adds a free attorney consult if you're sued, unlimited state filings (state fee only), and an upgraded virtual office package. Every tier keeps registered agent coverage as a base feature; you're paying for more compliance support layered on top, not for the registered agent role itself.
Full plan details, feature-by-feature comparisons, and CompanySage's formation package pricing are on the pricing page. There are no hidden fees on top of your plan; any state fee required for a filing is disclosed before you pay it.
CompanySage vs. a Bare-Bones Registered Agent
A registered agent-only provider can satisfy the state's requirement, but it usually leaves the rest of your compliance calendar for you to manage separately. Here's how that compares to CompanySage's bundled approach:
| CompanySage Registered Agent Service | Bare-Bones Registered Agent-Only Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $14.99/month, part of the Standard Compliance plan | Often priced separately, commonly in the $100–$300+/year range for the agent listing alone |
| What's bundled in | Annual report filing, mail scans, Corporate Transparency Act support, and a physical business address in the same plan | Typically just the agent listing; other compliance tasks are usually separate purchases |
| Mail visibility | Scanned mail posted to your CompanySage dashboard | Scanning is often billed as an add-on rather than included |
| Switching support | Guided sign-up with your change-of-agent paperwork prepared for you | Varies by provider |
For a business that only wants the legal box checked, a bare-bones listing can be the cheaper line item on its own. For a business that would otherwise be tracking annual report deadlines, mail scanning fees, and a business address separately, CompanySage's bundled Standard Compliance plan is often the simpler and more cost-effective path.
Who Needs This: New Formation vs. Switching Registered Agents
CompanySage's registered agent service fits two different situations:
- Forming a new LLC or corporation. Your registered agent is named directly on your Articles of Organization or Incorporation, so adding CompanySage's Standard Compliance plan during formation means it's handled in the same flow as your filing. See our guide to forming an LLC and how CompanySage files formations quickly with same-day filing.
- Switching from an existing registered agent. If your LLC or corporation is already formed, whether you were your own agent or used another provider, you can move your registered agent to CompanySage without re-forming your business. The section below walks through that process.
Either way, the plan and pricing are the same: the Standard Compliance plan at $14.99/month, whether CompanySage is your very first registered agent or your third.
How to Switch Your Registered Agent to CompanySage
Sign up for CompanySage's Standard Compliance plan
We prepare your change-of-agent paperwork
Most states use a form along the lines of a "Statement of Change of Registered Agent," filed with your Secretary of State or equivalent filing office; the exact form name and fee vary by state.
The change is filed with your state

States CompanySage's Registered Agent Service Covers
CompanySage's compliance plans include registered agent service in all 50 states, so you're covered whether your business is registered in one state or several.
If you're qualified to do business in more than one state, talk to a CompanySage advisor about how registered agent coverage works across each of your states before you rely on a single plan.
Coverage details can vary slightly by state's own filing requirements. Confirm your specific state's registered agent rules and any state fee at checkout when you sign up.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does CompanySage's registered agent service include?
CompanySage's registered agent service means we're listed as your official point of contact with the state: we accept service of process (lawsuit paperwork) and official state correspondence on your business's behalf, then scan and post it to your CompanySage dashboard. It's included in the Standard Compliance plan alongside annual report filing, mail scans, Corporate Transparency Act compliance support, annual meeting minutes, and a physical business address.
How much does CompanySage's registered agent service cost?
Registered agent service is bundled into CompanySage's Standard Compliance plan, starting at $14.99/month. That plan also covers annual report filing (you pay only the state fee), several free mail scans a year, and a physical business address. Higher compliance tiers add unlimited mail scans and additional features on top of the same registered agent service.
How do I sign up for registered agent service with CompanySage?
You can sign up for the Standard Compliance plan directly from your CompanySage dashboard, whether you're forming a new company with us or already have an LLC or corporation formed elsewhere. Signing up starts the process of listing CompanySage as your registered agent with your state.
Can I switch my registered agent to CompanySage if I already formed my LLC elsewhere?
Yes. Switching registered agents doesn't require re-forming your LLC or corporation. Most states let you file a change-of-registered-agent form with your Secretary of State's office, and CompanySage can prepare that paperwork for you as part of signing up for the Standard Compliance plan.
Does CompanySage provide registered agent service in every state?
Yes. CompanySage's compliance plans include registered agent service in all 50 states, so you're covered whether you're registered in one state or several.
What happens to mail sent to my registered agent address?
We open, scan, and post covered mail to your CompanySage dashboard, and you can request physical forwarding for items that need it. Under CompanySage's registered agent service terms, standard letters are generally held for up to 30 days and packages for up to 15 days from receipt if not forwarded.
Can I cancel my registered agent service, and what happens if I do?
You can cancel your compliance plan at any time; cancellation is generally effective at the end of your current paid term. Cancelling doesn't automatically update your state's records, though, so you're responsible for appointing a replacement registered agent and filing the change with your state before your CompanySage coverage ends.
Is registered agent service included when I form my LLC or corporation with CompanySage?
Not automatically. CompanySage's one-time formation packages (starting at $99 plus state fees) cover filing your formation documents, your operating agreement, and related paperwork. Ongoing registered agent service is part of the separate Standard Compliance plan, which you can add during formation checkout or any time afterward from your dashboard.
