How do you decide which Delaware Registered Agent to choose? If cost and service are important to you, the information below will help you compare the different Registered Agent prices offered by the top three Delaware Registered Agents.
The costs are divided into initial formation fees and annual (recurring) Delaware Registered Agent fees. Some Registered Agents hide the state filing fees from you until the end of the formation process so it appears as if they are only charging you a small service fee to form your company.
Furthermore, Harvard Business Services, Inc. offers a low cost Registered Agent Service in all 50 states. We make it easy to consolidate your Registered Agent costs across the country with one single agent. Our cost to act as the Registered Agent in any other state is $99 per year.
Other Registered Agents add shipping fees at the end of the formation process, without warning, to boost their prices. At Harvard Business Services, Inc., we gladly disclose all the actual costs to form a company at the lowest possible rate, so you’ll know exact price as soon as you start the incorporation process.

Our low $50 Delaware Registered Agent Fee is included in all company formation packages for the first year. Then, it remains fixed at $50/year, guaranteed never to increase.
Many other companies increase their Delaware Registered Agent annual fee over time or include only six months of service in their incorporation packages. Once those six months are up, they'll charge you much more.
