How we picked the order
The Founders Review weighs five things, led by three-year cost and what one price covers at 30% each. For Florida, three-year cost is what separated first place from second.
Over three years Florida Registered Agent.io comes to $297, $150 under Mainstay Filing. For a company that only needs an agent here, the lower yearly price scored higher than Mainstay's broader coverage.
