Here’s how BizFilings stands apart from the rest:

Industry Pioneers - Pioneering the online formation industry in 1996, BizFilings has since helped over 150,000 domestic and international business owners with their corporation, LLC and nonprofit formation needs in the United States.

Pricing - We don’t claim to be the cheapest provider around, but our pricing is more than competitive. When you investigate price, it’s important to look at what is included. Some competitors will claim a base rate and then tack on additional fees, such as shipping and handling. Also, competitors may not include state expediting service with their standard packages. We think you’ll quickly see that BizFilings offers a lot of value for our affordable pricing.

Guaranteed - BizFilings is confident in its ability to deliver a service that exceeds customer expectations. Our filing services are both accurate and timely, and we pride ourselves on providing the highest level of service in the industry. BizFilings guarantees its services against filing defects caused by BizFilings for the life of your corporation or LLC.

Turn-around Time - Our Standard and Complete Formation Packages include state expediting and also expedited internal processing to ensure your business is formed quickly. From the time you place your order with us, you will typically have your state-approved formation documents in hand within 7 to 10 business days. Other providers may take weeks with their standard packages. We also offer 24-hour or 48-hour rush filing service in many states.

S Corporation Status - If you are seeking to create your business as an S corporation, it means an additional filing must be made AFTER you’ve incorporated. That filing happens with the IRS and we can perform that filing for you. Our competitors will "prep" the IRS forms for you but we can actually get the documents filed - ultimately saving you time.

Commitment to Customer Service Excellence - No other provider in the industry employs such commitment to quality service as BizFilings. Twice yearly, we survey over 1000 of our most recent customers in order to learn how we can better serve our current and new customers. We take the results of these surveys very seriously, using the feedback to improve our website, our products, and our processes. Further, each of our knowledgeable and friendly customer service representatives has completed extensive training and development programs and is available to answer your questions.

Accessible Help - Not only do we offer toll-free assistance by telephone, we also offer Live Chat, which allows our customers to communicate real time with our customer service representatives - without having to pick up the phone. You can find the Live Chat icon throughout our website, making it easy for you to get answers to your questions while you’re online.

Partnered with Industry Leaders - BizFilings has been selected to provide formation services to small business customers and members of many top companies, organizations and websites. We are the exclusive formation service provider to companies such as American Express and Yahoo! Inc. Click here to view a full list of our partners.

The Best Technology - From the moment you begin interacting with us you’ll experience our technological edge. A few things we offer include:

• Convenient PDF downloads to gather the information you’ll need before you start your corporation, LLC or nonprofit formation order
• The "Save and Return" feature on our online order form allows you to exit an order in progress and return at a later time without losing any data
• Our Online Corporate Status Center gives you 24/7 account access so you can view the status of your order throughout the preparation and filing process, track the status of your any shipments, have online access to a copy of your state-approved formation documents, and more
• QuickFilings allows returning customers to place new orders in a fraction of the time - all of your important information appears in the order form without having to type a thing - all you do is edit and submit
  

At BizFilings, making formation understandable and easy is our business. We look forward to gaining you as a customer and to helping you throughout the life of your business.

Once you are ready to move forward with the business formation process, the following are the steps you will go through as you work with us:

1. As a starting point, you can choose any one of the links below to download and print a datasheet complete with the questions we'll be asking as part of the order process.
   Incorporation Datasheet
   LLC Datasheet
   Nonprofit Datasheet
2. Once you have your information ready, visit our easy to use the online order form. Or, if you prefer to order by phone, our customer service team is available to assist you Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM central time.
3. After we receive your order, our quality control team makes sure that all the information you’ve provided is in line with the requirements dictated by the appropriate state agency.
4. Once your order has been reviewed by our quality control team, we perform a preliminary name availability search in the state in which you'd like to form your business. If your first name choice isn't available, we'll use your second choice and of course we'll contact you immediately if we learn that neither choice is available.
5. Then, we prepare and file your articles of incorporation (for corporations) or articles of organization (for LLCs) with the appropriate state agency.
6. Finally, after your formation paperwork is approved by the state and received back by BizFilings, we scan the documents into our Online Corporate Status Center where you can access them to download and print at any time. Also, we ship these documents to you. If your formation order includes a corporate or LLC kit and seal, you will receive that package separately shortly thereafter.

At any time after your order has been placed, you can check its status 24/7 by logging into the Online Corporate Status Center.
