LLC Review Desk's 2026 picks for LLC services in Georgia, favorite first, are Mainstay Filing ($199), Georgia Registered Agent.co ($199) and GA Registered Agent.org ($199). Mainstay Filing is our favorite, because $199 a year covers the Georgia formation, a year as your registered agent and the annual registration, and it renews at $199.

1. Mainstay Filing: best for formation, agent and annual registration in one simple price
$199 a year, and the state fee goes on top ($309 at checkout)
Our score

Our favorite is Mainstay Filing, because for one yearly price of $199 you get the Georgia filing, registered agent service and the annual registration, then $199 at renewal.
When your plan renews, Mainstay files the annual registration for you. Georgia charges $60 every year for it, and the date is April 1, and a late one costs $25 more. Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.
Over three years it costs $200 more than Georgia Registered Agent.co, and for us the extra things it handles are worth that.

Coming in second is Georgia Registered Agent.co, because the Georgia formation costs $199 over the state's fee, with the registered agent free the first year, and keeping the agent is $99 a year.
You get a street address in the state for your registered office, and any papers served on the company are scanned into your online account.
The annual registration isn't part of its published price, so you send it to Georgia yourself every year.

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. On top of every row, Georgia charges a $110 filing fee, which isn't in these totals.
How we scored these
Two things count most to us, three-year cost and filings in the price, at 29% each. Renewal price, state fit and up-front totals share 42%, and Georgia came down to filings in the price.
In Georgia you'll need a report each year ($60 to the state), and sending it late adds $25. Mainstay's price includes that filing and Georgia Registered Agent.co's doesn't, which is why coverage beat Georgia Registered Agent.co's lower three-year cost.
You can read every criterion and weight on How we rank.

What a Georgia LLC needs after it is formed
There's one recurring item: the annual registration, every year, by April 1. The state asks for $60. A late filing adds $25. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
