A fair look
Before you choose
Best for
Founders in the US or abroad who want to form a US company without a subscription, with EIN assistance and the first registered agent year included on eligible orders, and every renewal price shown before they buy.
Cost-conscious founders who want a $0 formation package with a free first year of registered agent service.
The difference
Eligible standard formations carry a $0 Firmlane service fee. You pay the state filing fee, which the state sets and we show as its own line before you pay.
Bizee, per its website
Bizee also lists a $0 entry package (Basic package; Standard ($199) adds EIN and operating agreement; Premium is $299), so the difference is in what each includes.
Included for the first year on eligible orders. After that it is $119 per year, shown before you buy.
Bizee, per its website
Bizee includes the first year (Free first year with any formation package). Its renewal is listed at $149 per year.
EIN assistance is included on eligible orders. Founders without an SSN or ITIN get the same help: we prepare Form SS-4 for the IRS fax or mail route.
Guaranteed EIN: the terms
The 4 weeks start once your company has been approved by the state and we have your complete EIN information.
If your EIN is not delivered within 4 weeks, we keep working on it at no cost and refund every Firmlane fee you paid on the order, or $100, whichever is more.
EINs are issued by the IRS. Firmlane prepares and submits your application through its established process and follows it through until your EIN is issued. Firmlane is not affiliated with the IRS.
Bizee, per its website
Bizee lists EIN help at $70 one-time (Standalone EIN service; included in Standard ($199) and Premium ($299)). The Bizee pages we checked don't say whether its EIN help covers founders without an SSN or ITIN.
Formation is a one-time order. Optional services are always optional, priced upfront, and can be cancelled under their terms.
Firmlane is not a law firm or a government agency and does not give legal or tax advice. It does not promise state approval or state processing times.
