Bizee's Free Months End on a Date. Rhode Island's Reminder Arrives on Its Own.

The usual caveat, stated plainly. This page belongs to RI Registered Agent.org. We sell Rhode Island resident agent service at $99 a year and we would like your business. Bizee's pricing below comes from their published material as it stood in July 2026, and we have not touched it.

The Bundle Is Genuinely Worth Something

Bizee, which spent years trading as Incfile, hands you agent coverage at no charge when they form your company. Depending on which package you buy, that runs anywhere from three months to a full twelve. If Bizee is filing your Articles of Organization anyway, those months are real money you do not spend, and a page that sneered at free coverage would be a page arguing in bad faith.

Formation is a one-time event, though, and agent service is not. Standalone, once the bundled stretch expires, Bizee charges $149 a year.

Where the Two Calendars Collide

Every Rhode Island LLC lives on a fixed schedule. The annual report window opens February 1 and shuts May 1. Slack runs to May 31. On June 1 a $25 penalty attaches on top of the $50 fee, and continued silence eventually puts the company in front of revocation proceedings.

Now lay the Bizee clock over that. A free period of three, six, or twelve months starts on your formation date, which for most owners is a random Tuesday somewhere in the year. It does not land on February 1 and it has no reason to. So the two calendars run out of phase, and there is a fairly common shape to how that goes wrong: the free coverage quietly ends in the autumn, nobody notices because no invoice ever taught you to watch for one, and the state's February reminder is then posted to an agent relationship that has already gone cold.

That reminder is the part worth dwelling on. Rhode Island sends its courtesy notice about the annual report to whoever holds the agent appointment, not to the members. It is the only unprompted warning the state issues. A lapsed or inattentive agent does not merely cost you a service; it costs you the notice.

The fix is not complicated. On the day you buy the formation package, write the expiry date in whatever calendar you actually check, and set the reminder for a month before it, not the week of.

What $99 Buys Here, Every Year, Without an Expiry

• A Rhode Island street address holding the resident agent line in your public file
• Documents served at that address imaged on the day of arrival, with the alert leaving as the scan posts
• Alerts before the February 1 opening and again ahead of the May 1 deadline
• A permanent, searchable archive of every document we have received for you
• General business mail scanned on request at a published $15 an item
• No expiring introductory stretch, because there is no introductory stretch

We stop short of calling $99 the smallest number in Rhode Island, because BetterLegal advertises $90. What we will stand behind is that our figure sits in the low band of published rates here and does not step up the moment something expires.

Leaving Bizee: One Rhode Island Filing

Twenty dollars and Form 642, the state's change-of-resident-agent statement, filed with Business Services on paper or online. Field-by-field instructions are on our change of agent page.

The sequencing rule matters more with a free arrangement than with a paid one, because there is no invoice to remind you which state you are in. Appoint us first, file the change, confirm the record shows our name, and treat the Bizee account as a separate cleanup afterward. Closing an account never edits a state register, and Rhode Island will keep mailing the name it has.
