RTC SCORE

6.7

#7 of 15 with enough data

What we like

  • The Complete package covers the whole basket: EIN, custom operating agreement and one year of registered agent.
  • 60 days to ask for a full refund of its service fees.
  • Every price, including express and rush, is on one public page.

What to watch

  • A 3% convenience fee and shipping are added to every price, and the shipping amount isn't published.
  • The Basic package includes only 60 days of registered agent, and CorpNet doesn't publish what it charges after that.
  • To stop the registered agent you must file the change with the state and send CorpNet proof in writing.

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 "Up to" amounts, buyouts of your current contract and unpublished amounts don't count.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.
