Form-A-Corp REVIEW

• They have a price matching feature that says they’ll match any competitor’s price on the same service, and take an additional 5% off.
• Most companies that offer LLC formation services also provide a ton of other legal services. Form-A-Corp does have some other business services, but LLC formation is their specialty instead of being just another service they offer.
• Form-A-Corp guarantees that any service they provide is compliant with the requirements of your state of formation.

• Starting at $99, their prices aren’t crazy expensive, but they also aren’t the cheapest. Some competitors (like IncFile) have rates as low as $49.
• They only include registered agent service in their Complete package. There are some providers that include registered agent in all packages.

Form-A-Corp has 3 options for LLC formation service, starting at $99 and going up to $364: Economy, Standard and Complete.

Economy = $99 + State Fee

What It Includes: This package includes the formation essentials, like the preparation and filing of your Articles of Organization, and shipping your completed documents to you.

Who It’s Right For: Entrepreneurs who only require the no-frills basics of LLC formation will do just fine with the Economy package.

Standard = $244 + State Fee

What It Includes: Everything from the Economy package, plus the preparation and obtainment of a federal tax ID number (EIN) which enables you to hire employees and open business bank accounts. In addition, you also receive expedited filing.

Who It’s Right For: The Standard level is hard to recommend across the board because it’s a better deal in some states than others. Based on how much your specific state charges for expedited filing, you might not save any money. Most businesses do need an EIN, but you can add it on later if you’d rather.

Complete = $364 + State Fee

What It Includes: Everything from the Standard package, along with a year of registered agent service to receive and forward your important documents, an LLC kit and seal for organizing company forms, and some sample documents on a disk.

Who It’s Right For: Customers who are already planning on ordering registered agent service from Form-A-Corp might as well see what value they can get out of the kit/seal and sample docs.

Additional Features

• International Filing ($149) - For non-US based entrepreneurs, this enables you to form a compliant LLC in any state.
• S-Corp Filing ($35) - Some business types pass their corporate finances through to their shareholders, and an S-corp filing allows you to file your taxes in this manner, if applicable.
• Federal Tax ID Number or EIN Acquisition ($70) - Allows you to hire employees, file business taxes or open a bank account for your company.
• LLC Kit and Seal ($75) - A custom-printed binder to organize your documents, custom membership certificates and a seal that impresses your company name.
• Instructional DVD for LLC Kit ($24) - Guides you through maintaining your LLC kit.
• Doing Business As or DBA Name ($275) - Allows you to officially refer to your company by a name other than your standard business name.
• Expedited Filing Service (varies by state) - State expediting fee speeds things up on the government’s end.
• Priority Delivery ($9.95) - Your documents will be delivered within 3-5 business days from the date of completion.

Recommended Package

In general, I prefer the idea of adding an EIN to the Economy package. The Standard package varies in value by state, and since the Complete package is built on the Standard foundation, it too is difficult to broadly recommend for everyone.

Form-A-Corp gets a 3.9/5 in my book. Their price match is a nice feature, and they guarantee the acceptance of your documents. That being said, if this doesn’t sound like your perfect fit, check out our Best LLC Formation Services. Cheers!
