Why Mainstay Filing is first
Our method scores three-year cost (30%) and what one price covers (30%) most heavily, then renewal terms, fit for the state and price clarity. Here the order came down to what one price covers.
Foreign registration means at least two states, so one provider for both scored highest on coverage, ahead of Nebraska Registered Agent.co.
