The method

Five layers we weigh

  1. Total across three years (34%): The first-year price and two renewals, read from each company's own pricing.
  2. What is inside the price (29%): Which recurring jobs ship with the price: registered agent, state report, EIN application and use beyond one state.
  3. Price laid out in the open (14%): First-year price, renewal and state fee should be readable before checkout, without digging.
  4. How the renewal behaves (12%): A flat renewal beats a low first year that rises afterward.
  5. How far it reaches (11%): A single state or all fifty.
