Bizee's Free Months Run Out at $149. Vermont Ties Down One Address, and It Is the Agent's.

You are reading a competitor's assessment, which we would rather state than have you infer. VT Registered Agent.org holds Vermont agent appointments for $99 a year, Bizee holds them for a different figure, and we profit if you move. What follows about Bizee is taken from Bizee's published pages as they stood in a July 2026 check, with nothing paraphrased into something worse than it is.

The Bundle Is Genuinely Worth Money

Bizee, which operated as Incfile for years before the rename, attaches free registered agent service to its formation packages. Depending on which package a customer buys, the free stretch runs somewhere between three months and a full twelve. If Bizee was going to handle your Vermont formation anyway, that is money that stays in your account rather than leaving it, and there is no catch hiding in the offer itself. Free means free for the length of the window.

We are not going to argue with an arrangement that saves people money. Our argument concerns what happens on the far side of the window.

The Offer Has a Date On It, and the Date Is Quiet

Once the included months are used up, standalone agent service at Bizee is $149 a year, published and easy to verify. The rate is not hidden. What is easy to miss is the boundary, because included periods tend to end without announcement, and plenty of owners discover the transition from the charge rather than from a warning. A three-month window on a formation completed in the spring closes before most people have finished setting up their bookkeeping.

Set against a flat $99 that never moves, $149 costs an extra $50 every renewal year, forever, and the first of those renewals often arrives at the least convenient possible moment.

Vermont Pins Down One Address, Not Two

Here is the local detail that decides what you are really buying, and it gets left out of nearly every national guide.

Vermont's agent statute makes the company maintain an agent with a street address inside Vermont, continuously, for service of process. Read what it does not say. The LLC's designated office, the address of record for the business itself, carries no such requirement. It is permitted to sit in another state entirely. Most jurisdictions insist both stay within their borders; Vermont holds down the agent and leaves the office free.

The practical consequence is unusually clean. If you run a Vermont LLC from Boston, Brooklyn, or Boise, the state is not asking you to invent a Vermont presence for your business. It is asking for one reliable Vermont person or entity that will be standing at a Vermont door when a process server arrives. That is a single, narrow, purchasable job, and the whole question of which vendor to hire reduces to who performs it well and what they charge for it.

Which also means that when a bundled year expires, what expires is not a package of software. It is that one job, and it has to be immediately reassigned.

What $99 Covers Here

Our Vermont street address goes onto the agent line of your public filing in place of anything of yours. Whatever a process server hands us is imaged into your portal that same day, a notification goes out the moment it posts, and the archive stays open to you afterward without expiry. Reminders precede your Vermont report window. The renewal invoice reads $99 because the first one did, and there was never an introductory rate here to graduate out of.

Note that $99 is not the smallest number in the Vermont market. BetterLegal advertises $90. Saying so beats letting this page imply a floor we do not occupy. Our position is that $99 belongs to the low band of published Vermont rates, and that it comes with same-day handling built in rather than sold separately.

Switching From Bizee in Vermont, Briefly

Short version: one online filing, $35, lodged with the Business Services Division in Montpelier, and no form number exists because Vermont takes agent changes only through its own site. Our change of agent page covers the fields and the confirmation step, and we hand customers the exact entries at signup.

The one rule to carry away is about ordering. The end of a free period changes nothing in the public file. Bizee stays on the agent line until you file. Get the replacement appointed and confirmed in the state's database first, then let the old arrangement lapse. Vermont wants a working name in that field for the whole life of the company, and letting a bundled term expire into an empty seat is the version of this that causes problems.
