The reasoning for the order
The decisive criterion in Florida was charge over three years. For reference, the method assigns 31% to charge over three years, 31% to work taken off the founder and 38% across renewal conduct, fit with local rules and pricing in plain sight.
Over three years Florida Registered Agent.io totals $297, $150 less than Mainstay Filing. A company that needs an agent only in Florida gains little from fifty-state reach, so the lower yearly charge carried the ruling.
Each criterion and its weight appear on How we rank.
