RTC SCORE

6.9

#5 of 15 with enough data

What we like

  • The first year of registered agent comes with every package, even the $0 one.
  • The $199 Standard package covers the whole basket: EIN, operating agreement and registered agent for a year.

What to watch

  • Refunds only until the payment goes to the state, usually within 24 hours.
  • The registered agent renewal is charged by a partner and isn't refundable.
  • Add-on prices on the order form, and the virtual address after its free month, aren't published.

Counts in the RTC Score only if our reference restaurant qualifies.

The switching or signing incentive is one of the criteria with the most weight in the RTC Score. We count a promotion only while it's current, with a fixed published amount and conditions our reference restaurant meets. "Up to" amounts, buyouts of your current contract and unpublished amounts don't count. The cost calculator subtracts one only when your numbers qualify.
