Bizee Alternatives for Alabama Registered Agent Service

Free is a real price and $149 is a real price. This page is about the distance between them. Read it knowing that Alabama Registered Agent.co publishes it, sells agent service at $99 a year, and benefits when someone switches. Bizee's figures are their own published rates and we have not touched them.

The Formation Bundle Holds Up

Bizee, formerly Incfile, throws registered agent service in with its LLC formation packages for a stretch that runs from three months to twelve depending on which package you buy. That is a real inclusion, not a discount dressed up as a gift. Anyone forming an Alabama LLC through them gets months of a state-mandated service at no cost, and that is worth having.

Then the Meter Starts

Standalone Bizee agent service is $149 a year, and that is also what begins the moment the free window closes.

The bundle wins the opening stretch and loses everything after it. That is not a criticism of Bizee so much as a description of how bundles function. The question it leaves you with is how long you expect to keep the company. Short answer, take the free months. Long answer, the recurring number is the one that decides the total.

Mark the Lapse Date

Whichever way you go, write down when your included months expire. Free coverage converts to paid coverage on its own, and for most owners the notification is the charge itself. Moving before that posts costs less than moving after.

What $99 Covers Here

• $99 a year with an identical renewal, no tier structure above it
• Court papers scanned the same business day they reach our office and emailed straight to you
• An Alabama street address on your filings that meets Ala. Code § 10A-1-5.31
• Reminders for the Business Privilege Tax deadline
• Non-legal mail scanned at $15 an item, the only additional charge on our price list

Not the cheapest, and we say so on our own page: BetterLegal publishes $90 a year. Among the lowest published rates in Alabama is the honest phrasing, with the distinction that ours never moves.

Bizee to Us: What Alabama Requires

The paperwork is a statement of change, which § 10A-1-5.32 in the Alabama Code establishes, made on the form the state titles Change of Registered Agent or Registered Office by Entity, and no number is attached to it. The Business Services Division at the Secretary of State takes the filing, and the fee is $100. Our Alabama change form guide works through the fields if you want the long version.

Do the appointment before the filing, every time. The form will not accept a blank where the new agent's Alabama address belongs, and taking the steps in that order keeps a valid agent attached to your entity throughout, with no lapse in between.

One Alabama detail worth knowing if you are forming rather than switching: the state's $200 domestic filing fee is split internally, with $100 remitted to the county treasurer of the county where your initial registered agent's office sits. Your agent's location determines which county receives it. It changes nothing about what you pay, but it explains why Alabama's forms care about the agent's address as much as they do.

Cancelling with Bizee is your errand, not the state's. The Secretary of State updates the public record and nothing else.
