Scoring

How picks are scored

  1. Three-year price (36%): First-year price plus two renewals from each company's posted rates.
  2. Chores removed from your list (26%): Count the recurring jobs the price absorbs: agent service, the state report, the EIN application and multi-state use.
  3. Price shown up front (15%): First-year price, renewal price and state fee should be visible before checkout.
  4. Year-two bill (12%): A renewal that matches year one beats a bargain start followed by a jump.
  5. States served (11%): Does the service work in one state or in every state? Growth makes this count.
