We never charge for what the government provides free
The EIN is a ten-minute form on the IRS website. The market charges $70 to $99 for it. We charge nothing, and we will show you the form.
US company formation, migration and compliance
The state fee is the state fee. We do not mark it up, and we will show you their schedule.
The industry charges $118 for a filing fee that costs it $70. That is a 41% margin on the one line every customer believes is a pass-through. We charge it at cost, put the whole menu on one screen with nothing preselected, and show you the three-year total before you decide.
We ask where you live, not which state you want
Every competitor asks for the state first, which is asking you to answer the one question you came to them with. Tell us where you live and what you intend, and the rules engine picks the state and writes out the reason.
Five rules, each one a competitor's documented failure
These are cheap to build and they are the marketing. Each names a specific, documented failure of a specific competitor, which means each is a claim we can substantiate.
Nothing is preselected
Tailor Brands ships six upsell screens with the $249 tier pre-checked, so the customer has to actively downgrade. Every box on our checkout starts empty.
The renewal price is stated when you buy, and never raised without your separate consent
LegalZoom raised a nonprofit’s renewal from $299 to $449 unannounced, and carries 1,449 BBB complaints in three years. Our database refuses a price rise that has no recorded consent behind it.
Cancel in one click
ZenBusiness told customers that cancelling "was against the law" and sends disputes to collections. Northwest disables the cancel button. Ours is one request, with no retention maze.
Billing stops the day the entity dissolves
LegalZoom billed $399 a year for seven years on a company Utah dissolved in 2019. We will know, because we read the state record every day.
A free compliance calendar, no signup
Type a company name and a state. You get its status, its current registered agent, its formation date, what it owes and when, and what happens if it is missed. Free whether or not you buy anything, because a compliance calendar for a company we did not form requires a registry mirror, and we need one anyway.
What we will not sell you
Every state page names, prominently, the things we are not going to sell you and why. New York does not require a registered agent, so we will not sell you one there. New Mexico has no annual report, so we do not sell compliance monitoring there. Wyoming's expedited service does not apply to an online filing, so paying for it would not make your formation faster.
