Weight 30%: filings handled per dollar. That term separated the top two quotes.

Arkansas registered agent requirements, quoted from the source (Arkansas Secretary of State)
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A commercial registered agent listed with the Secretary of State, or a noncommercial agent: an individual or a business entity serving as agent in Arkansas. The company can also name a position inside it, such as its manager, whose holder then receives papers. (Ark. Code Ann. § 4-20-105)
The address has to be an actual street address or rural route box number in Arkansas, plus an Arkansas mailing address if it differs. A P.O. box on its own is not accepted.
