Index notes

The deciding column for Kansas was coverage per dollar (32% of the index), where Mainstay Filing led.

Kansas expects the information report every two years, so a price that files it indexed above a lower price that does not.

Counting the EIN application, Mainstay Filing's subtotal passes KS Registered Agent.org's in year 2.

Official Kansas LLC filing fee and requirements

$85 pays for the filing that creates the LLC, which is the Articles of Organization (Form DL) delivered to the Kansas Secretary of State. Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
