Do incorporation service providers differ? What are the advantages of each one?

In today’s ‘’online’’ era, the world of e-commerce is booming. Setting up a Corporation or an LLC- which traditionally involved both: exorbitant fees, and significant time, can now be easily and affordably carried out by specialized third-party services at the click of a button.

Having said that, not all company formation websites are the same. They can differ significantly both in their prices and in the quality of services that they offer.

Below we will consider the current best online incorporation services for businesses on a budget, taking into account their wide pool of affordable features (which include EIN and Registered Agent Services), and allowing you to choose the best online incorporation service for your current specificities and preferences in 2021.

1. ZenBusiness

ZenBusiness was founded in 2015. Despite only being active for six years, its wide pool of services, excellent customer support packages, and qualitative services rank it as the current best overall incorporation service in the U.S according to analysts and customers alike.

The company is dedicated to guiding starting and experienced entrepreneurs in launching their businesses, allowing them to allocate their precious time in other areas of their business.

Aside from its unparalleled affordability, ZenBusiness stands out from the rest for the following reasons:

  1. They are straightforward and non-complex,
  2. They attract the most responsive and satisfied customers in the industry,
  3. Their customer support team is almost always available and is made up of ex-entrepreneurs who are highly knowledgeable, and
  4. Their EIN and Registered Agent services are extremely affordable.

Overall, individuals looking for leading company formation websites at a solid price will undoubtedly be exceptionally satisfied with ZenBusiness’s services.

2. Incfile

Incfile comes in as a close second option, providing one of the most efficient LLC services globally.

Incfile customers only have to pay their state’s filing fees, meaning the actual service is completely free of charge. Even so, it includes: an online dashboard of compliance tools, a free Registered Agent service for an entire year, and real-time tracking of orders (as well as free shipping).

Incfile’s website formation services are, in fact, extremely similar to those of Zenbusiness (including an EIN, an Operating Agreement, and a Registered Agent service).

The company’s unrivalled quality is reflected in their exceptionally high customer service reviews, which currently average a ranking of 4.8/5 on ShopperApproved, and additionally involve a prolific number of comments which highlight the company’s responsive, efficient, and supportive nature when handling each individual case.

Incfile’s packages provide an integrated support structure that is meant to mentor starting businesses well after they finish their incorporation service. Consequently, it is generally ranked as one of the most fruitful options for starting entrepreneurs.

3. Rocket Lawyer

Rocket Lawyer is the perfect platform for relatively small business owners that-in conjunction with excellent incorporation services, are also interested in receiving specialised and tailored legal services and advice.

The company has adopted a ‘’subscription’’ model, meaning it enables its premium members to access a plethora of useful tools, providing them with advice and guidance in a legal context for ‘’free’’.

Rocket Lawyer’s subscribers can enjoy: a) completely free (no extra costs) online incorporations services, b) legal advice and services, and c) a registered agent service for an entire year free of charge.

Their business bundle is made so as to allow busy business owners and starting entrepreneurs to always maintain a relatively healthy ‘’peace of mind’’ and avoid any easily-avoidable crises in the future.

Having assisted over 20 million individuals and 7 million businesses worldwide, Rocket Lawyer’s: high efficacy, robust customer support, and wide pool of resources is seldom debated.

Final words

So, we have presented our top 3 current incorporation service providers, delineating the services of each and breaking down their specific advantages.

Having said that, readers are always encouraged to carry out their own research before making a decision, as their own specific, budget, and time may mean another incorporation service provider is better suited for them.

Either way, the times where business owners had to rely on exorbitantly priced attorneys so as to not allocate a significant amount of their time on the formation of their company seem to be over.

We hope you enjoyed reading.
