Some will also, for an additional cost, do remailing and let you use that address as principal office.The average cost for a basic registered agent is usually between $45 and $100/year.

@Steve Vaughan that's a great success story and it's all well and good but wouldn't you agree that much of the reason that scenario worked out for you was due to timing in addition to hard work?

In addition, It did not take longer for me to start feeling the pressure of the sell pitch.

Cheap market, but the fees/additional soft expenses drive me crazy, and you always see them at the VERY END!
