For Florida, the deciding term was filings handled per dollar (30% of the ranking), where Mainstay Filing came out ahead.
One agent price in every state outscored FL Registered Agent.org's lower one-state quote.
Florida registered agent requirements, quoted from the source (Florida Division of Corporations)
Every LLC must name a registered agent with an in-state street address.
A Florida resident, or a business entity authorized in Florida, whose business address is the registered office. The agent files a written acceptance. (Fla. Stat. § 605.0113)
The address has to be a Florida street address that matches the agent's business address. P.O. boxes are not accepted. Florida law sets minimum hours of 10 a.m. to noon and 2 to 4 p.m. on weekdays.
