Comparing Bizee's $149 Renewal Against a Flat $99

Arkansas Registered Agent.co publishes this comparison and sells one of the two services inside it. The conflict is disclosed here rather than at the bottom of the page; the Bizee figures come from Bizee's published pricing and nothing has been adjusted.

Formation Buyers Get Something Genuine

Bizee includes registered agent service free for three to twelve months when you buy an LLC formation package, with the length set by the tier you choose. For a company that was going to form through Bizee regardless, those months are money not spent, and the arrangement contains no penalty we were able to identify. It is a legitimate reason to choose them at formation.

The Standalone Rate Is $149

Sold on its own, and applied once the included period expires, Bizee registered agent service runs $149 per year. The figure is published and stable, which puts Bizee ahead of several competitors on transparency alone. The practical issue is not the rate but the transition into it. The free months end on a date most owners never recorded, the charge processes against a card already on file, and $149 is small enough to survive a bank statement review without prompting a single question.

For an Arkansas LLC the comparison becomes straightforward the moment that free period closes, because from then on both services are performing the identical statutory job for different money.

Two things are worth pinning down while the included period still has time left on it. The first is the exact end date, which follows the package tier rather than any anniversary you would naturally remember. The second is which Arkansas address currently sits on your Secretary of State record, since the address travels with the agent and changes whenever the agent does. Owners who formed in a hurry sometimes discover their own home address went on the filing and stayed there.

One hundred and fifty dollars separates those totals, which happens to be the exact sum an Arkansas LLC owes the state in franchise tax each May.

Why Ours Stays at $99

Our rate has no bundled phase, so it has no expiry either. $99 covers the year, and $99 covers every year following it. Service of process reaching our Arkansas office is scanned that business day and emailed, and the portal keeps a permanent copy. Your Secretary of State record shows our compliant Arkansas street address rather than a home or a shopfront. Franchise tax reminders arrive ahead of each May 1 inside the rate. The lone additional charge in the service is $15 per item for scanning correspondence that is not legal process.

For completeness on price: $90 is published by BetterLegal, and $90 is less than $99. We describe ours as among the lowest published annual rates in Arkansas because that is what our own table supports.

The Arkansas Filing Is Free, Whenever You Make It

Changing agents in Arkansas comes down to a single form, the Notice of Change of Registered Agent Information, which the Secretary of State accepts through its Business and Commercial Services Division at no cost. Appoint the incoming agent before that form is submitted, because the change is written as a transfer and your entity is expected to carry an agent on the record without interruption. The absence of a fee also means you are free to act early. Nothing obliges you to wait for the first $149 charge to confirm what Bizee has already published, and a switch made a month before the bundle expires costs precisely what a switch made afterward would. Our Arkansas change of agent guide sets out the form, the filing options, and the confirmation step.
