The case for NH Registered Agent.org in first

Points here: 25% for cost across three years, 25% for coverage of the price and 50% across renewal terms, state-by-state fit and pricing clarity. New Hampshire came down to cost across three years.

NH Registered Agent.org tallies $297 across three years, $150 below Mainstay Filing. If New Hampshire is the only state, fifty-state coverage adds little, and the lower yearly price takes the points.

Every criterion and weight appears on How we rank.
