How we rate LLC formation services

Facts checked October 13 to 15, 2026.

Each provider gets a rating out of 10 from published facts only. Half comes from its Trustpilot rating, 30% from the range of business services it sells and whether it has an online dashboard, and 20% from the value of its fullest plan at or under $300: what the plan includes for good, its two-year cost, and how fast the provider says it files. We don't test services.

Part	Weight	How it is scored
Customer satisfaction	50%	Trustpilot score out of 5, scaled to 10
Services and dashboard	30%	Online dashboard (2 points) plus up to 8 for the share of 10 service types sold
Plan value	20%	Contents 40% (services included for good, out of 14), two-year cost 30% ($0 scores 10, $600 scores 0), filing speed 30% (one business day scores 10)

Ratings updated 2026-10-15. Any change to a rating from new data is reviewed before it is published. A provider with no Trustpilot score is listed but not rated, since half the rating comes from that score.
