When the Free Months End, November Is Already Waiting

Read what follows as a competitor's argument, because that is exactly what it is. ND Registered Agents.org provides North Dakota registered agent service for $99 a year, and Bizee customers who switch become our customers. The Bizee prices below are Bizee's published figures as of a July 2026 review.

The Bundle Is Worth What Bizee Says It Is

If you were going to hire somebody to form your North Dakota LLC anyway, Bizee's packages carry registered agent service at no charge, for a stretch that runs from one quarter up to twelve months according to the tier you buy. That is not a gimmick. Formation is the moment cash is tightest, and a vendor absorbing a real cost at that moment deserves plain acknowledgement. The company built its reputation as Incfile on precisely this bundling, and the bundling still delivers.

The Calendar Problem Nobody Raises at Checkout

Free months have an end date. Once they run out, standalone Bizee agent service bills at $149 a year.

Here is the part specific to this state. North Dakota puts its LLC annual report on November 15, not in the spring where nearly every other state files it. Section 10-32.1-89(3) words that deadline oddly, requiring delivery before the sixteenth of November, so the fifteenth is the last day that counts as on time. The state charges $50 for the filing and stacks another $50 on top if it arrives late.

So an owner who formed in March with a nine-month bundle finds two things landing in the same stretch of autumn: the first $149 agent invoice and a report deadline that most fifty-state calendars place in April. Neither is a crisis on its own. Both are easy to miss when they arrive together, and the notices about the second one get mailed to the first one.

What We Charge and What Comes With It

Ninety-nine dollars for twelve months, and ninety-nine again when those twelve months are up, with nothing bundled that later expires into a higher rate. That buys a North Dakota street address on your filings in place of your own, service of process scanned the day it reaches our desk with an email telling you it happened, an alert well ahead of November 15, and a document portal holding everything we have ever taken in for you. There is no package ladder at checkout because there is only one thing to buy.

Lowest in the state? No. BetterLegal's published rate is $90 a year, nine dollars under ours, and we would rather say so than have you catch it somewhere else. Our position is narrower: $99 belongs to the cheapest handful of yearly figures on offer here, and it holds still.

Bizee Comes Off in One Filing

One statement of change, $10 to the Secretary of State, submitted at the FirstStop portal where North Dakota keeps every business filing, and the record reads differently the moment it is accepted. Our change of agent guide walks the screens.

Order of operations is the only thing to get right: successor first, filing second, cancellation third. The record never shows an empty agent seat that way, which matters because North Dakota expects the seat filled on every business day the entity is registered.

Timing the Move

The convenient window is while the bundle is still running. Nothing about the free months prevents an agent change, the ten dollars is the same in month two as in month eleven, and moving early means the transition happens on a quiet day rather than during the week a renewal invoice and a report deadline are both sitting on your desk.

There is a second reason to move before autumn. The registered agent on file is where the state addresses its reminders, so whoever holds that role in October is who receives the paperwork that keeps your company alive in November. Our annual report page covers that filing itself.
