Why is the list in this order?
Mainstay Filing does best on chores the price takes care of, which carries 29% of our score.
We weigh five questions: what you pay over three years (33%), chores the price takes care of (29%), answers on the price page (14%), what happens at renewal (13%) and room to add states (11%).
What tips it: the first pick's price already covers the annual report, and Oregon Registered Agent.co leaves that task to you.
How was the bottom line figured? Add the filing fee, the next two reports and the minimum tax if the state has one. Anything with no fixed price, a newspaper notice for instance, is described above and kept out of the sum.
