Bizee (formerly known as Incfile) is our recommended tool for incorporating your business. We think it beats filing yourself and hiring a lawyer to file for you.

Bizee (formerly known as Incfile) offers great service at an affordable price. It lets you quickly and easily form a legal business entity. This lets you focus more time on the things that matter and less time on admin tasks like business formation.
Bizee (Incfile) was founded in Houston, in 2004, by an odd couple: Nick Siha, a firefighter, and Dustin Ray, a music industry exec. Incfile started as a side hustle of a side hustle. Nick, the firefighter, was trying to form an LLC for another side hustle and was frustrated by how difficult and expensive the process was. He partnered with Dustin to form Incfile to make it easier for entrepreneurs to incorporate their business. The company has grown a ton since 2004 and has now helped over one million people form businesses.
Bizee's core service is excellent. It makes incorporating your business quick and painless. This is great because the less brain power you dedicate to admin tasks like legal formation the more you can spend on things that will actually matter for your business.
Excellent Core Service
Bizee's incorporating process is quick and painless. They will walk you through every step in the process. What you want from an incorporation service is something easy to use and inexpensive. The less time and brainpower you spend on admin tasks like incorporating, the more time you can focus on the core of your business that will actually move the needle. This is all Bizee does, so they’re laser focused on making the process as seamless as possible. We love tools like this that do one thing really well.
Great Pricing
Bizee offers fantastic pricing. They have a great service with some of the least expensive pricing of the competitors we reviewed. Their Silver package offers $0 filing (plus state filing fees), but we recommend their Gold package ($199 + state filing fees) which includes everything you will need to get your business up and running. We think the combination of great service and wonderful pricing is tough to beat.
When it comes to comparing prices, you should be aware of two aspects: the cost to file your business, and the cost to maintain your business (Registered Agent fees). Incfile has some of the least expensive pricing for both.
The charts below compare the price of Bizee against the competition for first year costs and ongoing costs. We’ve included the price for everything we view as essential to incorporate your business (core filing plus Operating Agreement, EIN, and Registered Agent service).
Essentials Included
Bizee’s Gold package includes everything you need to incorporate your business.
It includes:
Other competitors will upsell you these things that we view as essential, and you will end up paying more for using them.
Strong Reviews
In both conversations with founders and on public review websites, Bizee has received strong reviews. Typically, we put less emphasis on public review sites, but forming a company is typically a very standardized process, and we weigh the wisdom of the crowd more heavily in this category. Bizee has over 12,000 5-star reviews on Trustpilot. Below is a chart where we compare the Trustpilot scores of Bizee and competitors. One note on this chart: when we dug into the Trustpilot data, we noticed discrepancies. One tool had one 5-star review and a Trustpilot rating of 3.7. We found that Trustpilot takes other factors into account when calculating their score (e.g., how quickly a company responds to negative reviews and how long a company has been around for). So instead of taking the headline Trustpilot score, we’ve calculated our own which is simply a weighted average of all of the companies reviews.
Bizee is one of the best reviewed legal formation services. Typically, we put less emphasis on public review sites, but forming a company is typically a very standardized process, and we weigh the wisdom of the crowd more heavily in this category.
Support for Non-US Residents
Not a US resident? No social security number? No worries with Bizee. They have helped thousands of International founders form US businesses. As a founder living outside of the US, it can be a challenge to navigate US bureaucracy. Bizee has plenty of experience helping non-US residents and will guide you through every step of the process.
Quick Turnaround Time
Bizee has some of the fastest turn around times in the industry. They will file your paperwork within one business day of you filling out the necessary paperwork (at no extra cost). With other competitors you might wait 2+ weeks for them to file for you. When you’re starting a business, you don’t want to wait on a slow incorporating service. You want to get your company incorporated to focus on other more important things (selling your product).
Limits to Customization Ability
For those looking for non-standard business formations (e.g., introducing special provisions in the various formation documents), we don’t recommend Bizee. Incorporation services thrive on by-the-book formations that are standardized. If you are trying to form an entity that isn’t standard, we recommend working with a lawyer and paying more to incorporate with them.
Money Back Guarantee
Other competitors offer 60 day money back guarantees, but Bizee only offers your money back (less state filing fee and $30 charge) before the paperwork is filed with the state. Because they file paperwork so quickly (within one business day), it is virtually impossible to get money back. If you’re going through the headache of filing a business, we don't think you should have second thoughts, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Support
We’ve generally found the support to be very responsive and helpful. However, we have heard some customers complain about the support. These issues typically arise in two cases. The first is when the founder is trying to incorporate something other than a plain vanilla LLC or S corp. We recommend those founders instead use a lawyer for the incorporation process. The second case for complaints typically arises from people who make mistakes when entering the company info and are forced to remedy post filing. Our advice is to triple check everything before submitting it to avoid these situations.
Bizee offers three pricing tiers. Their most basic plan is called the Silver package and offers $0 State filing (just pay the State filing fee). This comes with the filing itself (preparing and filing the articles of incorporation), unlimited name searches (to make sure your company name is available), and one year of free Registered Agent services. This is a great deal, but we recommend the Gold package as it includes everything in the Silver package as well as an EIN from the IRS, an Operating Agreement, and lifetime company filing alerts. This is everything you will need to incorporate your business and will cost $199 plus the State filing fee. The Platinum package includes everything in Gold in addition to business contract templates, free next day filing, and a domain name and business email and costs $299 plus the State filing fee. We think you can pass on this and be fine with the Gold package.
