About File.Business
Operating across all 51 jurisdictions

One platform for the people who actually run the business.

We built File.Business because the work of running a company should not require eight subscriptions and a folder of spreadsheets. Formation, compliance, and operations belong on one record, in one system, with one team behind it.

Trusted by businesses across 21 industries

Mission

Build the foundation every company should be able to count on.

Every business owner deserves the same caliber of administrative infrastructure that large companies pay law firms and accounting firms to assemble. We deliver it as a platform, at a fraction of the cost, with the same care.

Our customers range from first-time founders forming an LLC to CFOs at multi-entity, multi-state companies. The platform serves both because it stays out of the way when you do not need it, and steps forward when you do.

Operating principles
  • Charge for value, not for renewals.
  • If a filing is wrong because of us, we cover the penalty.
  • Use plain language. Legal jargon is not the product.
  • Customers own their data, always exportable, never sold.
  • A real person answers, every time.
