Change of Agent Fees For Delaware Limited Partnerships Slashed by State

To change the registered agent for an existing Delaware Limited Partnership (LP), the State of Delaware in the past has charged a filing fee of $200 to file the Certificate of “Change of Registered Agent and Registered Office”. This made changing registered agents for an LP almost cost prohibited.
The state has now lowered their $200 filing fee to $50. We at Harvard Business Services are now happy to offer the same cost to change registered agents for an LP as that of an LLC or a Corporation. We will prepare and file this form for our exact cost of $50, plus we’ll give you your first year’s agent fee for only $39. The total cost to change agent is ONLY $89 per corporation, LLC, or LP.
Thereafter, your annual agent fee will be only $50 per company; just think of the money you’ll save! If you have delayed in changing the registered agent for your LP, now is the time. For additional savings, above and beyond the $50/year, we also offer 2 years for $90 or 3 years for $125.
Recently, I wrote a blog entitled, “Do You Know How Much You Are Paying For Registered Agent Service?” It spoke about how some companies overcharge their clients for registered agent service. It explained how other companies bait you in with one price, and then raise the annual fee on you each year. It explained how Harvard Business Service’s $50 registered agent fee is guaranteed for the life of the company, and how one would go about changing their registered agent to Harvard. For a list of our competitors, and their prices, please read this blog article.

Registered Agent Renewal Bill Got You Down?

As a filing specialist here at Harvard Business Services, Inc., I talk with people everyday who have multiple companies incorporated in the state of Delaware, or even multiple registered agents and are looking for a more cost effective service. To be more specific, recently, I spoke with a gentleman that was inquiring about Harvard Business Services, Inc. and what we have to offer. Over the past few weeks, he had received registered agent renewal bills for his Delaware entities from other agents. Reluctant to pay them, because they were so outrageously high, he found Harvard’s website, www.delawareinc.com.
He agreed that our website was more than helpful but wanted to speak with a representative to get a feel of what and who we are as a company. More or less, he wanted to feel confident that our service matched or exceeded that of his current agent being that our annual fee was a fraction of what he had been paying. As we continued our conversation, he expressed concern about the hefty fees and due dates on the renewal bills he had received from other agents and asked if there was enough time to make the switch to HBS without liability for paying the other agents. We made the switch easy for him.
In what was less than a 5 minute phone call, I was able to guide our new client through the process of submitting the requests to switch agents to Harvard for his multiple entities as he effortlessly navigated our website. Before I thanked him for his business I was able to confirm receipt of his orders and advise him that the amendment filings would be submitted to the state of Delaware before our office closed that day. I could sense the appreciation in his tone as I further explained that he could toss those bills in the trash and be assured that the state of Delaware will officially notify his previous agent of the change before the due date of his invoices.

In assisting clients with changing their registered agent service to Harvard Business Services, we sometimes hear stories about what our competitors are charging. I recently had a business owner say that he has been paying a registered agent payment of $250/year for at least 3 years now and has not known about it. It seems that somewhere along the line, the cost of his registered agent payment was raised and he was not notified. So year after year, his secretary would pay the bill on time as instructed, and no red flag ever jumped out at him until recently. He was doing an inventory of all the expenses that his business has, when this cost popped out. Unfortunately this is a common story that we hear, day after day. There are some companies in the registered agent business that will raise their fees on you every year. They take for granted the fact that as a business person, you are very busy and do not always notice if fees are raised. We will not say any names, but there are many companies out there that raise their fees, and there are many business owners that do not realize it.
This is why we take pride in our $50/year guarantee. As long as your company is in good standing, your registered agent payment will not go up. We have had some clients ask us why would we charge so little? The answer is we have been doing this since 1981. We have the registered agent business down to a science and we do not feel we should charge anymore. Clients appreciate the fact that we can tell them what there agent payment is next year, and what it will be 10 years from now. We think that is how it should be.
