What Harvard does well
Delaware, specifically. The $50 annual registered agent fee, unchanged since 1981 and guaranteed not to rise, is among the lowest anywhere, and its learning center covers Delaware franchise tax, APV, and HB 400 in depth.
Where it stops
Its focus is the Delaware entity. A Delaware company with employees in California, New York, or Texas also owes those states' registration, minimum taxes, and payroll filings, which a Delaware agent doesn't handle.
Where StateDues fits
Our Delaware calculator shows the APV math, and our nexus checker and state guides cover what your Delaware company owes everywhere else.
Before you buy any formation service
State fees are the same whichever provider files for you, and they usually cost more than the provider. Check the five-year cost by state, whether your team creates nexus elsewhere, and what a registered agent should cost.
