Verdict
The enterprise choice, owned by Wolters Kluwer. Its listed online price is $436 for new customers, and its Ohio page does not state a renewal price, an Ohio office location, or who files the agent change. It is built for legal departments managing many entities, not for a single small business.
Best for enterprise legal departments. Watch for: Highest listed price; the online rate is a new-customer discount.
Pricing
Its listed price is $436, described as an online price for new customers. Its Ohio page does not state a renewal price, so we do not compute a five-year total.
