Methodology

How services are ranked

  1. Service bill over three years (31%): What a service charges above the state fee in years one, two and three, from the first-year and renewal prices it publishes.
  2. Scope of the price (29%): How much of the state's recurring work the price takes in: the registered agent, the periodic report and the EIN application.
  3. Renewal step (16%): The gap, if any, between the first-year price and the price from year two.
  4. State rule match (13%): How well the plan matches the state's report cycle, late penalties and registered office rules.
  5. Fee transparency (11%): Whether the state fee is itemized apart and passed through unchanged.
