A Free First Year, and a Second Year Nobody Prices

We should say who benefits if you agree with this page. Colorado Registered Agent.co sells registered agent service at $99 a year, and the argument here favours us. It also rests on something you can check yourself in a few minutes: what is, and is not, printed on Inc Authority's website.

The Free Year Is Real

Order an Inc Authority formation package and the agent service attached to it costs nothing for twelve months. We looked for the usual counterweight to an offer like that, a setup fee, a clipped term, a charge for leaving early, and did not find one. A Colorado founder watching every dollar of a first-year budget gets a full year of a legally required service for free, and that is a genuine benefit rather than a marketing illusion.

The Second Year Has No Published Price

The renewal rate is not disclosed. We checked the frequently asked questions, the premium package pages, and the homepage, and the figure is absent from all of them. The pattern that fits is a price revealed at checkout or over the phone, which places the disclosure after the free year has already done its persuading.

We are not going to guess at the amount, and the reason is not politeness. Inventing a competitor's price would wreck the single proposition on offer here, namely that a stated price beats an unstated one. The comparison works perfectly well with that cell left blank.

If you are already an Inc Authority customer, none of this obliges you to leave. It suggests one phone call: ask what the renewal costs, get the answer in writing, and then compare it against everything else. An undisclosed price stops being a problem the moment it is disclosed.

Colorado Gives You One Fixed Annual Number Regardless

Every Colorado LLC and corporation owes the state a periodic report each year. It costs $25 and it is filed online, and the deadline is generous by any standard: the window opens two months before your periodic report month and stays open until two months after it. Let all four of those months slip and the entity is marked Noncompliant with a $50 penalty attached, and continued delinquency eventually leads to administrative dissolution.

That is a known cost on a known schedule, which is exactly how a recurring business obligation should behave. It is a reasonable model for what the other recurring line on your compliance budget, the agent fee, ought to look like.

Our Number Is on the Pricing Page

Ninety-nine dollars this year and the same figure in every year that follows, published on the pricing page where anyone can read it before spending anything. Documents are scanned and sent out the day they show up, with a permanent copy in your account. Your Colorado record shows our street address instead of your home. Periodic report reminders arrive ahead of the window. There is no tier above this one waiting to be sold to you.

The same standard applies to us, so note that BetterLegal's $90 beats our $99. Among the lowest published Colorado prices is accurate; cheapest would not be.

Getting Inc Authority Off Your Colorado Filing

When the renewal number finally arrives and you decide against it, Colorado charges $10 for one online Statement of Change and takes no paper filings at all; appoint the replacement first so the agent field passes across without ever being empty, then close the old account once the state's record confirms the new name. Our Colorado change of agent guide has the whole procedure.
