What drove the grades

At Launchwise Review, cost to launch and stay and launch paperwork handled each count for 26% of a grade, and renewal behavior, state match and price transparency split the remaining 48%. In Oregon, launch paperwork handled made the call.

Adding a second state means dealing with two states, and one provider at one price in both earned the stronger coverage grade, ahead of OR Registered Agent.org.

Every criterion and weight is listed on How we rank.
