Is there some advantage of choosing the entity mentioned in the article over its ~100 competitors? I found a list of registered agents here: https://corp.delaware.gov/agents/

I am sure that the quality and breadth of services provided by the agents chosen by fortune 500s well exceed the services provided by an agent that is one guy in a garage.

Are you forming a C Corp or an LLC? You'll need a registered agent regardless BUT you shouldn't pay too much for a registered agent!

Neither, just found it interesting that the _one_ address always comes up, but you don't hear of the runner-ups (although it seems I have also missed the mention of the other big player that someone quoted from the article).

Curious how much it cost.

My random Indiana registered agent is $50 a year. I’m sure I could somehow find a cheaper one, but not worth the effort.

Maybe this is a similar situation but in Delaware, which has a LOT more businesses than Indiana.
