Tally rules

Sorting the ledger

  1. Three-year tally (39%): The first-year price plus two renewals, added from each company's published prices.
  2. Jobs ticked off (28%): How many recurring jobs the price takes care of: the registered agent, the state report, the EIN application and use in other states.
  3. Renewal step (12%): How far the price moves between year one and year two.
  4. Break-even tally (11%): The year in which one service's running total passes another's, taken from the calculator on each page.
  5. Price on the page (10%): Whether the first-year price, the renewal and the state fee are all printed where a buyer can read them before checkout.
