Ohio Registered Statutory Agent review
Bottom line
Ohio Registered Statutory Agent is a single-state registered agent service at a flat $49 per business per year with no setup, scanning, forwarding or per-contact fees, which is roughly a third of what the national providers charge for the same statutory role. It files the appointment for you, scans service of process the same business day and escalates urgent documents by phone. It only serves Ohio, it is a small, new provider, and the portal is functional rather than feature-rich. Disclosure: this service shares an owner with this site; it is scored on the same criteria as every other product and its rank is not adjusted.
