[10]

[28]
zen business is still a young company compared
to its competitors in the industry it was
[32]
founded in 2015 and it is currently operating
in texas usa despite its age zen business
[38]
was able to acquire and help thousands of
small business owners and beginner entrepreneurs
[43]
meanwhile inc file was already operating since
2004 helping more than 500 000 businesses
[49]
by providing different business formation
services since then it became one of the most
[53]
popular and in-demand incorporated service
providers and even becoming as famous as legalzoom
[59]
if you're looking for an online legal service
you'll most likely want to know about how
[63]
a particular service measures up in terms
of price features ease of use and customer
[68]
service let's see first do offers better monetary
value choosing a winner between inc file and
[73]
zen business when it comes to their pricing
is a hard task to do because in the industry
[78]
of incorporated service providers inc file
and zen business are both known for their
[82]
very low cost offers yet high quality services
zen business offers its customers three options
[88]
when it comes to packages starter pro and
premium this order of tiers corresponds to
[93]
the same number of packages that inc file
has silver gold and platinum being the most
[99]
expensive ones for the basic package both
of them provide the following filing and preparation
[104]
of articles of organization unlimited name
availability searches unlimited email and
[109]
phone support system free accounting and business
tax consultation online document access and
[115]
a registered agent available for one year
however unlike ink file silver that costs
[120]
zero dollars plus state fee zen business starter
pack which costs 49 plus state fees does not
[125]
include lifetime company alerts which can
only be found in their mid and top tier packages
[131]
but to compensate for that they include an
llc operating agreement a virtual business
[135]
guide a statement of the organizer and a standard
filing speed to their basic package although
[140]
having said that the upper hand in this tier
still goes to ink file as they offer this
[144]
package for free plus state filing fees which
is in fact still almost impossible to beat
[150]
for the next package ink file gold costs 149
dollars plus state fee while zen business
[156]
pro has a total cost of 199 dollars plus state
fee the former is less expensive at around
[161]
50 both of them include all the features found
in the last tier but of course with the additional
[167]
services such as acquiring your employee identification
number or ein the customer operating agreement
[173]
worry free compliance and lifetime company
alerts and a banking resolution for only one
[178]
hundred forty nine dollars plus tafey inc
file will also provide you with irs form 2553
[185]
a business banking account and express shipping
even though zen business pro package has a
[189]
virtual business guide and expedited filing
speed ink file still offers a greater value
[195]
the last package which is also the most expensive
one zen business premium only cost 299 dollars
[201]
plus state fee compared to ink file platinum
that cost 299 dollars plus state fee zen business
[208]
premium has all the features and services
found in the previous tiers plus a business
[212]
email address and a domain name it also has
some additional features like rush filing
[217]
speed domain name privacy protection and business
website features that are not included in
[223]
ink file platinum therefore i would go for
zen business package in this tier as it is
[227]
cheaper and offers more services however i
will give ink file its first win for an overall
[232]
pricing comparison because given all the evidence
we can conclude that ink file still offers
[238]
greater value compared to zen business all
the features that i will explain in this part
[242]
have already been mentioned when i talked
about their pricing this comparison will help
[246]
you choose between inc file and zen business
as we elaborate on all the services and features
[251]
that they provide to their customers so what
i'm going to do is i'll divide the section
[255]
into three parts we will talk about the features
per package in this order bottom tier mid-tier
[261]
then last but not the least the top tier first
let's talk about all the features that can
[265]
be found both in ink file silver and zen business
starter package so these packages include
[271]
services like preparing and submitting your
articles of organization that are needed when
[276]
filing for an llc they will also provide you
with their name availability search before
[281]
officially starting the formation process
this is to ensure that no other entity has
[285]
used the same name you desired for your business
by searching through your state's database
[290]
moreover to give you a smooth and nice experience
throughout your journey both of them have
[294]
unlimited phone and email support so if you
have questions regarding your business formation
[298]
process you can reach out to them additionally
while your file documents are being processed
[304]
you can track them through their online document
access feature and once it is done it's now
[308]
available for viewing downloading and even
printing ink file basic package also includes
[313]
a free business tax consultation the same
feature is also present in zen business but
[318]
it is also called an accounting consultation
furthermore both of them give a free registered
[323]
agent available for 12 months but what does
a registered agent do well a registered agent
[328]
is actually a requirement in any state in
america when you're operating an llc company
[333]
they receive deliveries and mails from your
state on behalf of your company to ensure
[338]
that you as an owner won't miss anything concerning
your business zen business has the upper hand
[343]
in this part because aside from everything
that i've mentioned it also includes services
[347]
in its basic package like the preparation
of an llc operating agreement that is needed
[351]
to outline the ownership and setting the rules
and regulation of your company while securing
[356]
your personal assets zen business also provides
a virtual business guide with a standard filing
[361]
speed the only thing that isn't included in
zen business starter pack but is included
[365]
in ink file is the lifetime company alerts
which will send you warnings and signals whenever
[370]
you have upcoming important deadlines for
their mid-tier packages inkfile offers additional
[375]
services that you will not encounter in zen
business pro package such as the preparation
[380]
of all the needed documents and requirements
then file them with your irs if ever you have
[385]
decided to have your company taxed like an
s corporation in addition to that they will
[390]
also give you a business banking account although
this is quite useless since they will already
[394]
provide you your ein on the other hand zen
business only has these features virtual business
[399]
guide and expedite filing speed that inc file
does not include in their promo we will now
[404]
talk about their top tier packages and all
the additional features unique to them starting
[409]
with ink file honestly i'm a little bit disappointed
in their platinum package because not only
[413]
is it more expensive than zen business premium
it also contains lesser features ink file
[418]
platinum has only one unique feature and it
is called business contract template which
[423]
is essential to keep your company contractually
protected meanwhile zen business premium has
[428]
rushed filing speed for faster processing
of documents and a domain name privacy that
[433]
increases your protection therefore zen business
wins this part because it has a wider spectrum
[438]
of features compared to ink file here's a
good question for you what is your business
[443]
that you're looking to form an llc for let
me know in the comment section below now let's
[447]
look at whose platform has more edge in terms
of ease of use both of them perform really
[452]
well both of them have received high ratings
based on different websites in this category
[457]
zen business provides a personalized dashboard
that will let you track what step your order
[461]
is in while it is still being processed same
as ink file it has a feature called order
[466]
status tracking that basically lets you know
the status of your order they will also provide
[471]
you with the dashboard that has the same function
as zen business ink file is said to be very
[476]
user friendly and intuitive for beginners
as you progress filling out the application
[480]
you will encounter a few add-ons and some
promotional offers that are not part of the
[484]
package that you chose so opting into these
add-ons will increase your bill but then you
[489]
will not get surprised because ink file will
let you monitor your bill by projecting it
[493]
on the screen furthermore you will see hyperlinks
and some little question marks that allow
[497]
you to know what you are answering and will
tell you what they are for on the other hand
[501]
zen business is also said to be easy to use
they will provide easy to follow instructions
[506]
that won't take much of your time their website
is very easy to navigate and you will not
[510]
even break a sweat forming your own llc as
it only takes a few minutes to register to
[515]
their site and after that they will do the
rest however some say that there are times
[519]
in which their orders get delayed but despite
some poor reviews from the customers they
[524]
are actually offering standard rush filing
speed and ink file doesn't even offer the
[528]
latter so for this part i will give zen business
a second win let's look now at how they handle
[534]
customer support inkfile has more customer
reviews compared to zen business because it
[538]
has been operating for almost 17 years which
makes perfect sense based on a website called
[544]
shopper approved it received a rating of 4.8
out of 10 consisting of 11 664 reviews in
[551]
total even though their representative responded
quickly by answering the phone call the call
[555]
only lasted for 45 seconds and questions were
answered but not explained enough meanwhile
[561]
their email support took longer to respond
it might even take a whole day before you
[565]
can get a reply but it provided well elaborated
and more personalized answers so i therefore
[571]
conclude that their email support answers
questions better than their phone support
[575]
zen business received the same average of
stars as ink file but with a lesser number
[579]
of reviews consisting of 4817 this rating
is based on a website called trustpilot as
[587]
i was checking their packages on their website
i was able to try their chat support system
[591]
that pops up while you're using their site
it has a bot but if the bot wasn't able to
[595]
answer your question you will get a reply
from one of their representatives after a
[599]
few minutes the answer that i received wasn't
that detailed but it was still helpful aside
[604]
from their web chat you can also contact them
through phone and email they reply very fast
[609]
while also providing helpful answers when
it comes to their email support they may take
[613]
a hold before sending a response just like
an ink file even though both of them perform
[617]
really well when it comes to customer support
service i must say that zen business still
[621]
has the advantage because it is much easier
to contact compared to ink file thus zen business
[627]
has its third win do you like the level of

value it doesn't have the same amount of add-ons
[652]
that you will usually encounter with ink file
their website is very easy to use and navigate
[657]
making sure that your experience won't be
as hard and confusing they will also lend
[662]
you a hand by providing a registered agent
and a feature called worry-free compliance
[666]
guarantee which is very useful for business
owners cons comparing zen business and ink
[672]
files bottom and mid-tier packages i can say
that the former still has the cheapest promos
[677]
out there while also providing a wider spectrum
of features for its price now let's take a
[681]
look at ink file pros they have the cheapest
offers you can find on the internet without
[686]
compromising the quality they included a service
called lifetime company alerts wherein they
[691]
will give you signals by sending you an email
every time to notify you with your upcoming
[696]
important deadlines thus making sure you won't
miss a thing cons you might be bombarded by
[701]
a lot of add-ons and promotional offers that
are not included in your package this may
[706]
significantly increase your bill their customer
support is hard to reach sometimes it may
[711]
take a few phone calls before someone in your
team answers and even though their email customer
[715]
support provides well-explained and accurate
answers to your questions they usually take
[720]
a whole day before sending a reply final verdict
zen business wins after testing out ink file
[726]
and zen business offers and services i can
say that if you're tight on the budget then
[731]
go for ink file just be very careful dealing
with lots of add-ons and promotional offers
[735]
along the way but if you have the money and
you're still looking for budget-friendly offers
[740]
from the best incorporated service provider
on the internet then zen business is a great
[744]
choice for you not only does it perform very
well but it also has great customer reviews
[749]
and has a very high rating when it comes to
customer service both of them offer great
[753]
value but still zen business wins this head-to-head
match with three category victories on features
[759]
ease of use and customer service leaving inkfile
with only one win on the pricing category
