Why these picks

What makes a service worth hiring?

  1. Three-year price (36%): Add the first-year price to two renewals, using each company's own published pricing.
  2. Paperwork covered (29%): Check which repeating tasks the price includes: the registered agent, the annual or biennial report, the EIN application and use outside one state.
  3. Straightforward pricing (15%): Ask whether the first-year price, the renewal price and the state fee are shown before a buyer reaches checkout.
  4. Renewal behavior (10%): See how the price changes in year two.
  5. States served (10%): Find out whether a service works in a single state or in every state, which counts once an LLC registers in another one.
