What we weigh

Our test, factor by factor

  1. Your three-year spend (38%): What you pay across the first year and two renewals, using each company's published prices.
  2. Upkeep the price covers (31%): The recurring chores you can hand off: registered agent duty, the state report, the EIN application, and moving to another state later.
  3. Year-two surprise (13%): How much the bill changes when the first year ends.
  4. Where the bills cross (9%): The year when one option's running total passes another's.
  5. Price you can see (9%): Whether the first-year price, the renewal and the state fee are all findable before you pay.
