Across the 51 rows the figures nobody publishes: the true first-year cost and the true five-year cost of an LLC in each state (formation + agent + every recurring charge), the cheapest and dearest state on each, the spread between the paper and online price, what an expedite hour costs in each state, and how many states charge nothing recurring at all.
