Start Business Complete - $599Frequently asked questions
Why pay $599 instead of $199 for the Starter bundle?
Starter ($199) covers formation only. Business Complete adds everything you actually need for the first year: trademark search and federal application, Compliance Monitoring across all your filings, and a full year of Business OS - a $926 value for $599. It's the right choice if you take the business seriously and don't want to rebuy components every few months.
What is Business OS and why is it included?
Business OS is our compliance operating system - one dashboard for every state filing, annual report, registered agent renewal, license, and document. It's $19/month standalone ($228/year). Included free for 12 months with this bundle, then renews at the standard rate (cancel anytime).
