You’re paying 100100-300/year for a registered agent that does one thing: accepts mail and forwards it to you. Maybe they send you an email when something arrives. Maybe they don’t. Your formation documents, tax filings, and compliance records are scattered across multiple platforms. Transferring to Pluvel consolidates everything — registered agent, compliance tracking, document storage, mail scanning — in one place, included in your subscription.

When to change agents

Common reasons to switch:
  • Consolidation — Want everything in one platform
  • Cost — Your current agent charges more
  • Service — Need better notification and scanning
  • Moving states — Re-domiciling your business
