Best LLC Formation Services in 2026

Bizee is the current name of the formation service previously known as Incfile; its site carries the notice "Incfile Is Now Bizee". It offers three LLC packages, each a one-time payment plus the state fee: Basic at US$0, Standard at US$199 and Premium at US$299. Every package includes one free year of Bizee's registered agent service. Its standalone registered agent service is listed at US$149 per year, and Bizee states that it operates its own registered agent offices in all 50 states and forwards service-of-process documents by tracked FedEx. The pricing page does not state the registered agent renewal price for customers who received the free first year.

Inc Authority advertises LLC and corporation formation at no service fee, with customers paying only the mandatory secretary of state fees. Its home page lists items included with formation such as an EIN with 24-hour processing, registered agent service for the first year, a custom website and domain, five business email addresses, a logo, business bank account setup and a business funding analysis, though the bundles vary between sections of the page. The page does not state the price of registered agent service after the first year. Buyers should confirm the cost of renewing the registered agent and any other included services after the first year.

LegalZoom.com, Inc. is an online legal services company incorporated in California in July 1999 and headquartered in Mountain View, California, according to its annual report on Form 10-K for 2025. The filing states that LegalZoom had formed over 5.0 million businesses since its inception, operated staffed registered agent locations in all 50 states, and had approximately 1.9 million subscription units outstanding at 31 December 2025; total revenue for 2025 was US$756.0 million, of which about 65% came from subscriptions. LegalZoom's website blocked automated access during this review, so current LLC package prices are not given here. Its subscription-heavy model means buyers should check which services renew.

MyCorporation is a business formation service that states it has been helping customers form and maintain businesses since 1998. It sells four LLC packages, each plus state fees: Basic at US$109, Standard at US$134, Deluxe at US$234 and Premium at US$334. Registered agent service is included in the Deluxe and Premium packages, and no standalone registered agent price is shown on its home page. Several links on its site, including its privacy policy, point to the deluxe.com website. Unlike most competitors it has no free entry package.

Swyft Filings offers three LLC packages, each plus state fees: Basic at US$0, processed in 7 to 10 business days; Standard at US$169 (shown as reduced from US$199), processed in 3 business days; and Premium at US$269 (reduced from US$299), processed in 1 business day. It also sells a business address and virtual mailbox at US$29 per month, with one month free on Standard and three months on Premium. Its registered agent service, which operates in all 50 states, is priced from US$149 per quarter, and a separate subscription is required for each entity and each state. Quarterly billing makes its registered agent service among the most expensive of the published prices in this list.

Tailor Brands, which also sells branding and website services, offers LLC formation in three plans: Lite at US$0, Essential at US$199 per year and Elite at US$249 per year, each plus state fees; Elite adds a domain and website. Registered agent service is US$199 per year and EIN filing US$99. A bookkeeping and invoicing trial converts to US$39 per month after 30 days unless cancelled. Its LLC guide notes that state fees are paid to the state and that founders may file directly with the state themselves. Because the paid plans are annual and the EIN is charged separately, total cost can exceed that of one-time packages elsewhere.

ZenBusiness offers three LLC packages: Starter at US$0 plus state fees, which does not renew; Pro at US$199 plus state fees, renewing at US$199 per year; and Premium at US$299 plus state fees, renewing at US$299 per year. Registered agent service is not included in any package and costs US$199 per year as an add-on. The company's site states that it operates remotely. Its US$199 registered agent fee is higher than the standalone fees published by Bizee and Harbor Compliance, so a Starter customer who needs a commercial registered agent pays that fee from the first year.

doola sells US company formation as annual plans and states that it works "with entrepreneurs from around the world". Its Starter plan costs US$297 per year plus state fees and includes registered agent service. Higher tiers add bookkeeping, tax filings and back-office support: Tax and Compliance at US$1,999 per year and Business-in-a-Box at US$2,999 per year (or US$329 per month), each plus state fees. The pricing page shows some inconsistencies, listing the Pulse bookkeeping tier at both US$297 and US$300 per year. Its annual model is more expensive than one-time formation for founders who only need the filing.

Firstbase forms companies in Delaware or Wyoming. Its Start plan is a one-time fee of US$99 (shown as reduced from US$399) plus the state fee, and is sold as a bundle with Firstbase One, a back-office subscription at US$199 per month or US$2,388 billed yearly. Its stand-alone Agent plan provides registered agent service in all 50 states at US$299 per year per state, with state fees for foreign qualification paid separately; the page states that registered agent service is required for incorporation. Formation is limited to two states, and the per-state agent price is higher than most competitors' published rates.

Stripe Atlas is Stripe's company-formation product. It supports two structures, a Delaware C corporation and a Delaware LLC, and costs US$500, including Delaware filing fees and the first year of registered agent service; registered agent service then costs US$100 per year. The package includes an IRS tax ID filing, formation documents designed with the law firm Cooley, and, for corporations, founder equity issuance and an 83(b) election filing. Stripe states that more than 120,000 companies have incorporated through Atlas and that one in four new Delaware corporations choose it. It forms entities only in Delaware, which is less suitable for small local businesses that would then need to register in their home state.

Harbor Compliance is a compliance services firm whose registered agent service covers all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. It lists a single rate for all states: US$99 for the first year for new customers, renewing at US$159 per year, with two- and three-year prepaid options at US$99 per year that also renew at US$159. Filing fees for other work are invoiced separately depending on the situation. Its strength is ongoing registered agent and compliance work rather than low-cost formation packages, and it publishes no fixed LLC formation package price on its registered agent page.
