A Quarterly Quote Beside Nine Annual Ones

The disclosure comes first, since this whole page is about numbers being presented fairly. Colorado Registered Agent.co wrote it, and the $99 service in the right-hand column is ours. Swyft Filings publishes the figure we start from, and the conversion is arithmetic you can check in your head.

Nothing Wrong With Paying by the Quarter

Some businesses genuinely prefer four smaller debits to one large one. It smooths cash flow, it lines up with the quarterly rhythm many owners already keep for tax deposits, and Swyft Filings states the billing cycle openly instead of hiding it. As a payment structure this is fine, and this page is not accusing anyone of concealment.

The Comparison Only Works Once You Convert

Agent service is $149, charged every quarter. Multiply by four and the yearly figure lands around $596. No separate first-year discount turned up in our check, so that total describes the opening year exactly as it describes the fifth.

Here is why the conversion is not optional. Every other vendor in this market quotes an annual price. Drop $149 into a list of annual quotes and it looks like the bargain of the page when it is in fact the most expensive entry by a wide margin. Any figure that reverses its own ranking under a unit conversion needs converting before you rank it.

Stated as a single sentence: twelve months of our service costs less than one of their quarterly invoices, and the annualized difference is about $497.

Both Services Clear the Same Colorado Bar

Whatever the billing unit, the obligation underneath does not move. This state wants an agent holding a physical Colorado address, and it wants that agent to have consented to the job; filings that name an agent affirm the consent rather than assuming it. Neither the statute nor the Secretary of State attaches any advantage to paying four times a year instead of once. The record shows a name and an address, and the address is no better for having been billed quarterly.

One Charge, Once a Year

$99, debited annually, unchanged at every renewal.

Anything served at our Colorado address is scanned that same business day and emailed to you, with a permanent copy waiting in the portal. Your entity record carries our Colorado street address in the agent field. Periodic report reminders come with the service. One extra exists and it is disclosed here: $15 an item for non-legal mail.

One number in Colorado does sit below ours, and it is BetterLegal's published $90. So: among the lowest annual rates in the state, quoted once, in the same unit everyone else uses.

Timing a Colorado Change Against Swyft Filings' Quarter

Colorado's side of this costs $10 and takes one sitting.

You file a Statement of Change Changing the Registered Agent Information through the Secretary of State's online system, name the incoming agent, pay, and submit. There is no paper route and no form number to hunt for. Because the filing asks you to affirm the successor's consent, appoint the replacement before you open it, which also guarantees the agent field is occupied from one minute to the next with no lapse in between.

The one piece of scheduling the state takes no interest in is your billing cycle. Since Swyft Filings charges quarterly, check which quarter you are in before you cancel, and time the cancellation to a boundary rather than surrendering weeks you have already paid for. Confirm the new agent in the public entity search first. Our change of agent page sets out the filing itself.
