Business formation with legal guidance.
Who is BetterLegal best for?
BetterLegal is best for first-time US founders who want an LLC or corporation filed with its EIN and paperwork.
First-time founders
A guided questionnaire takes most customers 10 minutes or less, and BetterLegal handles the state filing and the EIN from there.
Founders in a hurry
BetterLegal quotes a 2-business-day turnaround, and the faster filing is part of the $299 price rather than a paid upgrade.
Owners who want the paperwork in one price
The EIN, operating agreement or bylaws and banking resolution come with the formation instead of as separate add-ons.
Businesses that need a registered agent
BetterLegal also sells registered agent and state compliance services as monthly or yearly subscriptions, so upkeep stays with the firm that formed the company.

BetterLegal charges a one-time $299 plus the state filing fee to form an LLC or corporation, and its Registered Agent and State Compliance Services cost $12.5 a month or $120 a year each.
