Services that file for you, for Alaska
The methodology explains the order. Three-year service fees count 34%, the filings a price covers count 26%, and renewal price, fit with Alaska rules and fee labeling make up the rest.
1. Mainstay Filing: best for less paperwork each year
$199 a year on top of the $250 state fee
Why Mainstay Filing leads: the Alaska formation, a registered agent and the biennial report are all inside a $199 yearly price.
Compared with AK Registered Agent.org, the three-year service bill is $200 higher, and more of the required filings are handled.
Each cycle it files the biennial report for you, and the $100 state fee is billed at cost.
