SUMMARY:

BizFilings is the gold standard when it comes to incorporations and LLC formations.  They are owned by Wolters Kluwer, one of the most prestigious legal publishing and services companies in the world. Wolters also owns Company Services Corporation (known as CSC) which has been the primary provider of incorporation, LLC formation and governance services to most of the national corporate law firms in the US for decades.

Quality/Guaranteed Compliance. If you use the BizFilings service, you will never have to worry about whether your incorporation has been done properly and completely.  They use the same methods and procedures as their sister company who supports the top law firms in the country.  As laws and state processes change, BizFilings already knows about them because the Wolters businesses have dedicated staff that keeps up not only with passed legislation but the current status of all pending legislation. 

Most online incorporation services were born as the result of the Internet and it becoming a commerce engine.  The company behind BizFilings has been providing incorporation services and LLC formation services for decades for the clients of professional lawyers. 

Customer Service.  BizFilings is run as a separate company servicing entrepreneurs and small business owners.  They have their own management team and their own team of customer service representatives who are well trained in the variety of questions and issues faced by the small business owner. We conduct extensive customer service phone calls as part of our reviews and BizFilings representatives were among the most informative and friendly. You can reach a BizFilings representatives 7 days a week and they also have online chat functionality as another means to get your questions answered quickly.  

Extras.  You will always be able to reach a representative to check the status of your order and they offer an online order status feature as well. If you choose to use an external registered agent for your business, you get 6 months of registered agent services free plus you get to use the BizComply Tool.  BizComply is an excellent service and tool which keeps you up to date on any state compliance and filing requirements for your legal entity. In addition, you get standard legal forms that can be used as a starting point for your new business entity.  Just about any additional service  you may need, such as EIN #s and corporate/LLC kits and seals are available.  

Pricing.  Like many online incorporation services, BizFilings offers a low end BASIC service at $130.  The problem with the entry level service is that the turnaround times are long (3-6 weeks depending on state) which is usually not acceptable for most people looking to start a business sooner. The better packages are the STANDARD and COMPLETE package that offer a tremendous value and speedier turnaround times. BizFilings is certainly not the cheapest but the peace of mind of a compliant filing, a reputable and experienced company, live customer support, and the other ranges of services offered is well worth the cost of Bizfilings incorporations services.

Closing Comments.  Another huge benefit to using a company like BizFilings is that they offer the most extensive menu of other related services that your new business may need in the future.  For example, if you later need to do a state amendment to change an address, registered agent or name of your company, they offer these filing services.  Also, they provide foreign corporation registrations if your company starts doing business in other states.  They even provide dissolution and termination services in the event you no longer need your business entity. There is a significant advantage to having one company to go to for all your corporate governance and LLC governance needs now or in the future.  The nice thing is you will be able to access all your documents and history through their online customer status tool.
