PA registered agent
Pennsylvania. $17 a year. Straight from the bowl.
Pennsylvania makes every company it registers name a registered agent at a street address inside its borders. We start with what the state does when that agent is us, then work back up to what it asked for in the first place.

The Pennsylvania annual report, which can also be left to settle
Pennsylvania charges a yearly amount to keep a company on its books. Here it is. Leaving it unpaid saves the whole amount, in exactly the way the rest of this site saves you money.
