The sort behind Michigan

Filing work per row put Mainstay Filing first. That column is 30% of the sort, and three-year row total, renewal gap, row crossover and cell clarity make up the remainder.

The annual statement column is what moved the bundle to the top.

If you need the EIN application, the entries swap in year 2, as Mainstay Filing moves past MI Registered Agent.org.
