Index basis

What the index weighs

  1. Three-year cost index (38%): Year one plus two renewals, using the prices each company publishes.
  2. Coverage per dollar (32%): What the price carries out: the registered agent, the state report filed on your behalf, the EIN application and use of the same price in other states.
  3. Renewal step (14%): The distance between the first-year price and the price after it.
  4. Crossover year (8%): The year when one service's running total goes past another's, read from the running-total table on each page.
  5. Price transparency (8%): Whether the first-year price, the renewal price and the state fee are all shown before checkout.
