More boxes to open

Does the home state need its own agent?

Most likely. Each state wants an agent of its own, and while a one-state service covers only one of them, Mainstay Filing covers every state.

What do the picks cost over three years?

Opened up over three years: Mainstay Filing at $497, Nebraska Registered Agent.co at $397, NE Registered Agent.org at $397, before state fees.

Are the fees official?

The state-side figures were taken from Nebraska's own publications, and the service prices from the price page each company posts. Dates for both appear on this page.

Do I have to use a service?

No. Owners can file with the state directly. A service saves time and can act as agent, but nothing makes you hire one.

Can I hire someone to register the LLC?

Each company here handles the filing itself. What differs between them is only the service fee, since the state charges the same.

Who tops the stack in Nebraska?

Mainstay Filing is on top: the fee is $199 on top of Nebraska's own, the registered agent is waived at first, and it settles at $149 a year. Under it sit Nebraska Registered Agent.co and NE Registered Agent.org.
