How the ruling was reached
Two criteria carry 31% each in this ranking, charge over three years and work taken off the founder. Renewal conduct, fit with local rules and pricing in plain sight share 38%, and in New Hampshire the decisive one was charge over three years.
Over three years New Hampshire Registered Agent.co totals $397, $200 less than Mainstay Filing. Mainstay would file the annual report as well, yet an owner can do it alone for the state fee, so the lower charge carried the ruling.
Each criterion and its weight appear on How we rank.
