LLC Review Desk's 2026 picks for LLC services in Kansas, favorite first, are Mainstay Filing ($199) and KS Registered Agent.org ($199). Mainstay Filing is our favorite, because the Kansas formation, your resident agent and the information report all come in a single $199 price.

Position 1
Our top pick

$199 a year, and the state fee goes on top ($284 at checkout)
Our score
9.1out of 10
9.1 out of 10
Our favorite is Mainstay Filing, because $199 a year covers the Kansas formation, a year as your resident agent and the information report, and it renews at $199.
When your plan renews, Mainstay files the information report for you. Kansas charges $90 every two years for it, and the date is 15th day of the 4th month after tax-year-end. Mainstay passes the state's fee along at cost.
Over three years it costs $200 more than KS Registered Agent.org, and for us the extra things it handles are worth that.

Coming in second is KS Registered Agent.org, because forming in Kansas is $199 plus the state fee, and your first year as resident agent is included, then $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 information report isn't part of its published price, so you send it to Kansas yourself every two years.

We took each price from the company's own pages on November 12, 2026. On top of every row, Kansas charges a $85 filing fee, which isn't in these totals.
What decided the order
Here's how we scored it: three-year cost and filings in the price are worth 29% each, and renewal price, state fit and up-front totals split the other 42%. In Kansas, filings in the price made the difference.
In Kansas you'll need a report every other year ($90 to the state). Mainstay's price includes that filing and KS Registered Agent.org's doesn't, which is why coverage beat KS Registered Agent.org's lower three-year cost.
You can read every criterion and weight on How we rank.
The Kansas LLC filing fee and form, from the state

What a Kansas LLC needs after it is formed
There's one recurring item: the information report, every two years, by 15th day of the 4th month after tax-year-end. The state asks for $90. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
