InCorp Services: Registered Agent Coverage, Pricing, and Alternatives

If you run 50 to 250 entities as a private equity compliance lead or fund controller, the service description is the easy part of the evaluation. The harder questions are what the service covers, what it leaves out, and how InCorp bills when entities are added, merged, or wound down mid-term.

What InCorp Services Inc covers

InCorp's own materials describe coverage in 54 jurisdictions: the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. That footprint is a self-published coverage claim, not an independently verified count of staffed offices, so ask for proof of a staffed office in any jurisdiction that matters to your portfolio before you sign.

InCorp, based in Las Vegas, was founded in January 1998 and went national in 2003.

InCorp renewal and cancellation terms

Registered agent service terms can be subject to jurisdiction-specific requirements, so for a large portfolio the key variables are the renewal and cancellation conditions.

Service features and prepayment terms

InCorp says its published service terms have changed once since 1998.

Forbes Advisor's 2026 review describes InCorp's multi-year plan. InCorp says the service includes an in-state physical address, electronic service-of-process delivery by email and online account, access to the Entity Management System (EMS) dashboard, a compliance calendar with email reminders, and EntityWatch monitoring of Secretary of State databases in most states for unauthorized changes.

InCorp markets the electronic delivery as same-day, but this is a marketing representation; no current SLA guaranteeing same-day delivery was located, so treat the timing as an estimate rather than a commitment until the signed agreement includes a measurable SLA.

InCorp also says it absorbs the state's agent-change fee when you switch to it. Rhode Island's official fee schedule lists a $20 change-of-agent fee for the standard filing; InCorp's own materials describe a lower fee for nonprofit corporations specifically, which should be verified against the current nonprofit form before relying on it.

Service-of-process documents over five pages may carry an overage.

Add-on services

InCorp offers filing services separately from its registered agent service, including:

• Annual report filing

• Foreign qualification filing

• Business formation (LLC or corporation)

• Certificate of good standing

• EIN registration

InCorp's public materials indicate that multi-entity support is available but do not publish detailed terms for accounts with 50 or more, or 100 or more, entities.

Auto-renewal and refund terms

Service renews annually on the 20th day of the original purchase month, and InCorp's terms of service let it charge the then-current amount to the card on file. InCorp's general terms describe a 60-day window for refund requests, but registered agent service carries a stricter rule: no refund is issued once the registered agent address has been provided, or 30 days after the date service was ordered, whichever comes first.

InCorp's cancellation terms also describe continued billing until a cancellation condition is satisfied; confirm the exact contractual language in the current agreement before assuming a specific late-penalty structure applies in every circumstance.

Where InCorp's published information runs thin for large portfolios

Three items a 50-plus entity buyer would normally want in writing are missing from InCorp's public pages:

• API or third-party integration documentation

• Whether multi-entity accounts get consolidated or per-entity invoices

• Any SOC 2 or comparable security certification

InCorp's public multi-entity statement is limited to "one flat price, one consolidated account, one team."

What the complaint record shows

The complaint record centers on billing, not on missed service of process. InCorp's Las Vegas headquarters has held BBB accreditation since May 20, 2011, with an A+ rating as currently displayed on its BBB profile. BBB ratings can change, so confirm the current rating directly on BBB's site before citing it.

Recurring BBB complaint themes include:

• Cancellation request complaints

• Billing after a state involuntarily dissolved the entity, including a complaint over an Illinois dissolution in which InCorp said it kept acting as agent because the dissolution was not voluntary

• Customers who say they never intentionally hired InCorp

What a registered agent lapse costs across states

A lapsed agent starts statutory clocks measured in days, and the clock length and consequences vary sharply by state, from Delaware's charter-forfeiture rule to Texas's involuntary-termination process.

Delaware: 30 days to forfeiture, and tax notices routed through the agent

If a Delaware corporation's registered agent resigns and the corporation fails to designate a replacement within 30 days, 8 Del. C. § 136(b) provides that the Secretary of State shall declare the corporation's charter forfeited. A domestic LLC in the same position has its certificate of formation canceled under 6 Del. C. § 18-104(d), and a foreign LLC that fails to designate a new registered agent within the statutory window loses its authority to do business in Delaware and has its registration canceled under the same section.

Corporations forfeited for more than five years pay three times the annual franchise tax for the year revival is effected, computed at the then-current rate, to revive their charter under 8 Del. C. § 312(g).

Under 6 Del. C. § 18-1107(d) and § 17-1109(c), the Secretary of State sends the LLC and LP annual tax notice to the registered agent, and the agent's failure to receive or forward that notice does not relieve the entity of payment. Delaware's alternative-entity instructions describe the tax as the prior year's tax, due June 1 each year.

Delaware's own official pages are not fully consistent on the current LLC and LP annual tax amount. The current alternative-entity filing instructions and the underlying statute state $400 (§ 18-1107(b) for LLCs, § 17-1109(a) for LPs), while Delaware's FAQ page and some older pages still display $300. The statute and the newest instructions should control: treat $400 as the operative figure, and confirm directly with the Division of Corporations before quoting it, since Delaware hasn't corrected the inconsistency across its own pages.

Miss the June 1 deadline and an LLC or LP owes a $200 late penalty plus 1.5% interest per month on the unpaid tax and penalty. A missed deadline does not by itself dissolve or cancel the entity: tax that remains in arrears for three months after becoming payable triggers separate enforcement mechanisms under § 18-1107(j) and § 18-1108 for LLCs, with parallel LP provisions. Until the balance is paid, the Secretary of State will not issue a certificate of good standing for the entity, under § 18-1107(g) for LLCs and § 17-1109(g) for LPs.

Texas and New York

If a Texas entity fails to maintain a registered agent, Tex. Bus. Orgs. Code § 5.251 makes the Secretary of State the entity's agent for service in that circumstance. Section 11.251(b)(1) is the termination provision: it gives the entity 91 days after the Secretary mails notice to correct a failure to maintain a registered agent or registered office, after which the Secretary may involuntarily terminate the entity.

Reinstatement after involuntary termination isn't barred after three years, but under § 11.253(d), an entity is treated as having existed without interruption only if it reinstates before the third anniversary of the termination.

Texas SOS Form 811, for reinstatement after non-tax involuntary termination, remains current in the SOS forms catalog. A managed transition should also account for the change-of-agent filing itself: Form 401 (change of registered office or agent) costs $15, except $5 for a nonprofit corporation or cooperative, and Form 408 (agent-initiated bulk change) costs $15 per entity, subject to the applicable $750 caps.

In New York, service on the Secretary of State is complete under N.Y. Bus. Corp. Law § 306 once the Secretary is served, regardless of whether the corporation actually receives it; this rule is specific to that service method and shouldn't be read as a universal rule for every way a New York entity can be served. In Fisher v. Lewis Construction NYC, Inc. (2020 NY Slip Op 00041, 1st Dept., decided January 2, 2020), the Appellate Division affirmed denial of a motion to vacate a default judgment against a corporation served through the Secretary of State on exactly that basis.

How InCorp compares with other national registered agents

The comparison turns on service scope, portfolio controls, security documentation, and invoicing, rather than on price, since CT Corporation, CSC, and Cogency Global quote by account instead of publishing per-entity rates for this tier. Provider details below reflect each company's own published materials as of this review; confirm current terms directly with each provider before relying on this table, since pricing, certifications, and feature sets change.

If you file annual reports in every state where an entity is registered, compare whether a provider bundles that filing with registered agent service or prices it separately.

Evaluation criteria for 50-plus entity portfolios

Four questions decide whether a registered agent can carry a 50-plus entity portfolio, and only one of them concerns commercial terms. Work this checklist before signing:

• Electronic delivery of scanned service of process on the provider's stated schedule, treated as an estimate unless backed by a current SLA, plus errors-and-omissions coverage sufficient to cover a service failure. A Brooklyn Law Review analysis, "Notice Risk and Registered Agency," identifies a registered agent's failure to forward accepted service as one of the most obvious points of failure in the service-of-process chain.

• Consolidated master invoicing plus entity-level breakdowns, with payment segregated to a specific fund vehicle or portfolio company.

• SOC 2 Type II attestation, encryption in transit and at rest, and liability-cap carve-outs for confidentiality breaches, since a vendor's data-handling practices can affect a company's own compliance obligations.

• A managed transition that files the change-of-agent form in each applicable state before the old agent is released. Texas charges $15 for Form 401 (change of registered office or agent), $5 for nonprofits and cooperatives, and $15 per entity for Form 408's bulk changes, subject to a $750 cap. New York charges $30 for the standard Certificate of Change for corporations and LLCs, though some entity types and resignation filings carry different fees. Florida charges $35 for corporations and $25 for LLCs. Confirm the current fee and form number for every state in the portfolio against the official Secretary of State site before switching.

Run InCorp's published record against that list. The gaps named above, including invoicing structure, security attestation, and E&O coverage, are the questions to put to its sales team before signing a long-term prepayment agreement.

Frequently asked questions

These questions summarize the main operational considerations when evaluating InCorp or another national registered agent for a multi-entity portfolio.

What does InCorp say its registered agent service includes?

InCorp says its service includes an in-state physical address, electronic service-of-process delivery, an EMS dashboard, a compliance calendar with email reminders, and EntityWatch monitoring in most states. Confirm delivery commitments, overage terms, and jurisdiction coverage in the final agreement.

What should a large portfolio confirm before choosing InCorp?

Ask for written details on consolidated invoicing, entity-level payment allocation, API or third-party integrations, SOC 2 or comparable security documentation, E&O coverage, and procedures for adding or winding down entities mid-term.

How do InCorp's renewal and cancellation terms work?

Service renews annually on the 20th day of the original purchase month. InCorp's terms allow it to charge the card on file, limit refunds after the registered agent address has been provided, and continue charging when cancellation conditions have not been completed.

What can happen when an entity loses registered agent coverage?

The consequences depend on the state and entity type.
