Reasoning behind the order

Weights: 27% cost over years one to three, 27% inclusions per price, 46% shared by renewal price and terms, fit with state rules and price clarity. Cost over years one to three decided New Hampshire.

NH Registered Agent.org sums to $297 across three years, $150 below Mainstay Filing. For a company that needs an agent in New Hampshire only, fifty-state coverage adds little, so the lower yearly amount decided the rating.

Each criterion and its weight is listed on How we rank.
