2021 Company Incorporation Service Reviews

FileNow

• Cost: From $49 to $149 plus applicable state fees

Filenow is one of the newest online resources for company formation services, whether that's via incorporation or an LLC. Backed by a knowledgeable team of business professionals, lawyers, tax experts and entrepreneurs, this provider wants to make your company incorporation as simple and seamless as possible - with minimal stress and expense.

You'll find two packages to choose from when it comes to company incorporation through Filenow:

• Starter ($49 plus state fees): this entry-level package gives you 24-hour order processing, 1 year of registered agent services (a $119 value in itself), free EIN/Tax ID, articles of incorporation, FedEx shipping, plus phone and email support
• Premium ($149 plus state fees): the top-tier package includes everything from the Starter plan, as well as a company kit, corporation meeting minutes record, corporation bylaws, and a banking resolution (valued at an extra $189 in total)

Not sure what the fees are in your state? Just select the state where you'll be incorporating before starting the process and you'll see the applicable fees automatically populate on the page. (We like that we didn't have to dig around for that information, or wait until the very end of the process to find out: transparency is always a plus.)

To save a little extra, you should keep an eye out for any discount offers. During our visit to the Filenow site, we got a pop-up promotional discount of 15% if we gave them our name and email address. The code we received was valid for a week into the future; we appreciate that there was no pressure to use it right away, giving us time to thoroughly consider everything Filenow has to offer before choosing to use them for our company incorporation needs.

There aren't too many surprises when going through the steps to incorporate through Filenow. Answer a series of simple questions about yourself and your business, and within a few minutes you'll have everything ready for Filenow to submit on your behalf. One nice feature of this service is that you can save your answers at any time and return to them later - so if you need to gather more information, your progress isn't lost.

Another helpful resource with this service is access to round-the-clock customer service. Phone and email help is available 24/7, and live chat is accessible through the Filenow website during regular business hours.

Filenow also backs all of the documents they prepare with an error-free guarantee. Should any of your company incorporation paperwork be rejected by the state due to a mistake on their part, they will give you a 100% refund of any service fees you paid.

The only reason Filenow doesn't rank even higher in our evaluation is because of how new they are to the industry. Where many of their competitors have thousands of customer reviews, Filenow only had a few dozen at the time of our review. The good news is that, even with such a limited history, this provider has already earned accreditation and an "A" rating from the BBB, as well as glowing praise from clients. Users of Filenow's company formation services say that it was easy to get friendly, knowledgeable help from representatives when needed, and that the whole process was smooth and incredibly fast.

Even though Filenow doesn't have the lengthy track record you'll find with other company incorporation services, they've definitely established themselves as an affordable, easy-to-use option. You won't have to spend too much time or money getting your business incorporated when you use Filenow.
