Features
Bizee features a wide range of à la carte add-ons for its two lower-priced plans and a Premium plan that includes everything, though in many cases the add-ons are less expensive. Bizee also features three core plans with escalating features, starting with a free plan with a fairly generous suite of features, making it a good choice for small business owners looking for basic LLC services. Beyond what you need to file for your LLC, Bizee’s free Basic plan also includes free registered agent service for a year. You also get unlimited name searches, so you can find the ideal name for your business before you file without paying extra. In addition, Bizee features lifetime compliance alerts, so you’ll never forget required year-end filings or reports. The Standard package gets you an employer identification number (EIN), operating agreement and the IRS form allowing your company to be taxed as an S-corp with all the tax advantages included. At the Premium tier, you also get a business email address and domain name, as well as business contract templates.
Pricing
Bizee’s pricing structure is very competitive, with core prices that roughly match its competitors and add-ons that are priced below many other similar features at other LLC companies. The Basic plan is free plus New Hampshire’s state fees and a very appealing proposition given the varied feature set. The Standard plan starts at $199 (plus the $100 state filing fee), and the Premium plan is $299 (plus the $100 state filing fee). Both include a free domain name and business email.
Customer Service
Bizee has a large resource center on its website where you can find answers to tons of common questions about starting an LLC or get tips on how to grow your business. You can also reach out to support by phone or through an email support form on the website.
Reputation
Bizee has a very strong online reputation on review aggregator sites. Its clients praise it for the speed and efficiency of its service and for its outstanding customer service.

Rocket Lawyer
Features
It’s also possible to consult experts on tax or legal questions. If you’re a first-time business owner, having this resource available to you can bring great peace of mind. Simply knowing what tax paperwork to file can be confusing at first. While Rocket Lawyer has distinct advantages, it’s less focused on business formation. You can get your LLC filing done for free if you have a Rocket Legal+ package. However, registered agent services are available only as an add-on.

BetterLegal
Features
In the rush to get your LLC off the ground, thoughts about complying with New Hampshire regulations related to LLC management and operation may be tossed aside. However, the time to think about compliance is well before you receive overdue or noncompliance notices from the New Hampshire Department of State Corporation Division. BetterLegal’s compliance service gives LLCs one less thing to worry about by handling all the paperwork required to maintain your company’s good standing with the state. BetterLegal offers only one LLC formation package. Overall, it’s pretty robust. In addition to the business filing, you get an operating agreement, EIN and a banking resolution (this identifies who is permitted to access company bank accounts). A free business website or online store is also included. One nice extra we didn’t see commonly advertised elsewhere is the tax analysis feature. With your LLC formation package, you’re entitled to a business tax analysis with a virtual tax service. Since an LLC can be taxed as either a pass-through entity (profits and losses “pass through” the company and are declared on the business owner’s personal income tax forms) or a corporation, this tax advice may be worth your time. While there are benefits, note that you’ll have to pay extra for registered agent services ($10 per month or $90 per year) with this provider. Given the already high price, that’s not ideal.
Pricing
When it comes to pricing, BetterLegal stands out from the crowd—in a negative way. Instead of offering different tiers of pricing, like most competitors, this provider just has one LLC formation package, coming in at a whopping $299, plus the $100. While it’s pretty comprehensive, the lack of cheaper plan options may scare off some thrifty entrepreneurs. The company’s terms and conditions state that any purchases made through its website are final and will not be refunded.
Customer Service
BetterLegal’s customer service is available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. You can contact the support team by phone, live chat or online form. There is also an online help page with articles on everything from hiring to choosing a business model.
Reputation
BetterLegal’s Trustpilot reviews are minimal, at less than 500. However, they are overall fairly positive, averaging more than 4.5 stars. Customers praise the service’s simplicity and efficiency. BetterLegal is also BBB accredited.
