When Bizee's Free Months End, Ohio Will Not Tell You

Disclosure, up top rather than in a footer. OH Registered Agent.org owns this page and sells the $99 Ohio service it recommends. Bizee's pricing is quoted as Bizee publishes it, from a July 2026 check, and we have not massaged a figure to make our side look better.

The Bundle Is Genuinely Worth Something

Form a company through Bizee and the agent line is waived for a while, three months at the low end and twelve at the high end, with the package you picked deciding which. Free is free. Those months cost you nothing, the service during them is real service, and anyone who tells you the included window is a trick is arguing in bad faith. If you are forming right now and Bizee's formation package suits you, take it.

Purchased on its own, without a formation underneath it, the standalone rate is $149 a year. That is also where the bundled customers land when the free window closes.

The Part Ohio Makes Easy to Miss

In most states, something arrives once a year. A report notice, a franchise tax bill, a renewal postcard, a due date that lands on the calendar and forces you to open the folder marked business. While you are in there, you notice the charges you meant to review.

Ohio sends nothing. Business entities here file no annual report with the Secretary of State, which the state says plainly in its own business FAQ, and there is no periodic filing in Chapter 1706 to replace it. Once your Articles of Organization are accepted, the state stops writing to you.

That is a genuinely good deal, and it has one side effect. Nothing external ever prompts you to look at your own record. The month your free Bizee coverage rolls into $149 a year, the only notice that anything changed is a line on a card statement, and the only party tracking the date is the company collecting on it. Owners in report states get an annual nudge whether they want one or not. Ohio owners have to schedule their own.

So schedule it. Three steps, ten minutes, once:

1. Open the Secretary of State's business search and confirm the statutory agent name and address on your record are the ones you expect.
2. Find the date your bundled months expire and put it somewhere with an alarm attached, not somewhere with a folder icon.
3. Compare the rate that begins on that date against what else is available, which is the only reason this page exists.

Our Rate, and Why It Has No Expiry

We charge $99 a year for Ohio statutory agent service, and $99 is also what year two costs, and year six. There is no promotional window because there is no promotion. Documents served on your company at our Ohio office get scanned the day they land and post straight into your account. Our address occupies the public agent field so your home address does not. Nothing else gets sold to you at checkout, because nothing else is for sale.

Not the cheapest, to be clear. BetterLegal's published number is $90, and ours sits nine dollars over it. What we are claiming is a flat rate near the low end of Ohio's published range with no second price scheduled to arrive later.

Against $149, the difference is $50 a year. Over a decade of holding one address, it is $500, on the only Secretary of State obligation an Ohio LLC carries after formation.

Bizee Out, Us In: Twenty-Five Dollars and One Form

Ohio prices the changeover at $25 and a single filing, the Statutory Agent Update, handed to the Secretary of State either as paper or through the state portal. Our Ohio change of agent guide takes that form apart box by box, so we will not repeat it here.

The one thing worth saying twice concerns timing rather than paperwork. If your free months are still running, do not wait for them to expire before starting. The new appointment has to be in place before the old coverage ends, so the two overlap by a few days instead of leaving a stretch where your Ohio record points at an agent you have stopped paying and we have not yet been recorded. Overlapping costs you nothing. A gap in the agent field is the one thing Ohio genuinely does not tolerate.
