[69]
lot of features on the other hand legalzoom cost thirty dollars more than zen business

[78]
stand out is that they incorporate more products and services in their llc creation plans than
[83]
legalzoom here's a much more detailed discussion about their pricing legalzoom's first package
[88]
called the economy plan cost seventy nine dollars plus its state filing fees its estimated
[93]
processing time is thirty business days the standard tier costs three hundred twenty nine
[97]
dollars plus its state filing fees its estimated processing time is 15 business days the express
[103]
gold tier costs 349 dollars plus its state filing fees its estimated processing time

zen business has three tiers for business formation services starter pro and premium
[119]
the first package being the cheapest cost forty nine dollars plus its state filing fees
[124]
this package has its own add-ons overall if you will purchase all of the add-ons for this
[128]
package it would add a total of 435 dollars to your order the second package is the most
[133]
popular plan called the pro plan it costs 199 dollars plus its state filing fees it
[139]
includes the same features of the starter plan but with its own products and services
[143]

[163]
fees its top features are rush filing service business website and registered agent annual
[168]
service overall sand business is less expensive than legalzoom for forming an llc or corporation
[174]
and provides far more in terms of overall product and service the only cheap package
[178]
that legalzoom has is the economy plan and the zen business pro and premium plan are
[183]
way cheaper than both of legalzoom standard and premium plan so here i'm giving zen business
[188]
its first win if you're focusing more on features let's see who has a wider spectrum once you
[192]
purchase a plan both of these two companies will send you a package via email containing
[197]
all the necessary documents that will guide you step by step when starting your business
[201]
zen business also includes a lot more functionality than legalzoom without charging extra legalzoom
[206]
does not have any essential features like operating agreement and employee identification
[211]
number or ein instead they offer these features on top of the package price for extra bucks
[216]
the problem with legal zooms is that they don't have features that zen business have
[220]
like the ein also zen business has way more additional services and benefits than the
[225]
legal zoom in short that gives another win for zen business here's a good question for
[229]
you what is your business that you're looking to form an llc for let me know in the comment
[233]
section below now let's look at whose platform has more edge this is one factor where these
[238]
companies are barely even with well-explained web pages both of them may save you a lot
[243]
of time and trouble however zen business advantage against legalzoom is that they have a dashboard
[248]
that will help you organize your llc formation process legalzoom does not have this feature
[253]
and rather asks their customers to provide their personal information first during the
[258]
subscription process after that they will offer expensive upsells before you can even
[262]
choose a formation package zen business has add-ons but they're not much of a hassle like
[267]
legalzooms when you sign up for zen business its dashboard will help you and will provide
[271]
ongoing services to customers all those n business deliveries can sometimes be delayed
[275]
they have an estimated day to check in and check out on their dashboard legalzoom's orders
[280]
will be processed in less than 20 minutes and if the customer has questions for their
[284]
order they can contact legalzoom to avoid any delays these online llc's have their ups
[289]
and downs but zen business just stands out in terms of ease and use and with that zen
[294]
business wins again let's look now at how they handle customer support legalzoom outranks
[299]
zen business when it comes to customer support services legalzoom can be contacted from monday
[304]
to friday 5am to 7pm and they can even be contacted on weekends at 7am to 4pm whereas
[310]
zen business can be contacted only during monday to friday 8am to 7pm and only on sunday
[315]
from 10am to 7pm let's talk about reviews from trustpilot at first legalzoom made the
[321]
process very easy and quick whenever i needed help there was someone on the chat waiting
[326]

me all the way to make sure i have a prosperous business here are some of the zen business
[344]
reviews from trustpilot the service was outstanding customer service was so patient with all of
[349]
my questions this is by far significantly better than legal zoom the only suggestion
[353]

[358]
best hands down easy process to always communicate through email anytime i had a question it
[364]
responded in very decent timing professional all the way around will use or recommend to
[368]
anyone in their reviews both legalzoom and zen business had their own customer issues
[373]
and complaints but they were eventually resolved but with respect to the reputation and tenurity
[377]
of legal zoom in the market customer service is one area where it appears to be the clear

week now let's look at both legal zoom and ink file strengths and weaknesses let's talk
[400]
about legal zoom first pros legalzoom provides a money-back guarantee within 60 days of purchase
[406]
most other online legal aid includes trial periods but few are as long as this one they
[411]
also provide access to tax lawyers as well as an annual business appraisal by a lawyer
[416]
both of which are things that most online legal services do not give cons however their
[421]
client feedback is sporadic they have a 3.5 rating out of 5 on site jabber over half of
[427]
their comments are perfect 5 star ratings yet there is also plenty of criticism customer
[432]
support is inconsistent as is often the case with huge corporations some people have positive
[437]
interactions with their salespeople while others believe they are being taken advantage
[440]
of now let's take a look into zen business zen business is one of the most affordable
[445]
llc services there is they are between 30 to 90 cheaper than legalzoom they also do
[450]
an amazing job at helping customers create their llc unlike competitors like legalzoom
[456]
zen business offers optional features in a fun way cons zen business is not as experienced
[461]
as legal zoom their knowledge base is also not as good as legalzoom there are some services
[466]
that aren't usable on a single purchase for example if you want the employee identification
[470]
number or ein on your starter plan you will need to add 70 what's even worse is that business
[476]
formation necessities are more expensive in the starter plan final verdict zen business
[482]
wins after conducting extensive research on legal zoom and zen business i will say that
[486]
zen business outperforms legalzoom zen business beat legalzoom with three category wins which
[492]
are the price features and ease of use this leaves legalzoom winning the customer service
[496]
category zen business has a lot to offer to its customers if you want to save money and
[501]
have an awesome startup company then zen business is right for you their prices are just more
[505]
open and easy to find on their website whereas legal zooms feels like they are upselling
