Affiliate Disclosure
How LLCForming makes money, in full, because a site that asks you to trust its numbers should be transparent about its own. Last updated November 7, 2026.
The model
LLCForming is free to read and is funded by affiliate commissions. Many pages link to LLC formation companies and registered agent providers. When you click one of those links and buy a service, the provider may pay us a commission. The price you pay is the same as going to the provider directly. Providers do not pay extra for better placement, and placement is never for sale.
What commissions never change
- State fees. Every filing fee, report fee, and deadline on this site comes from the official state source, with a checked date. A vendor cannot influence a government fee schedule, and neither can a commission.
- Vendor prices. The package and renewal prices in our comparisons are the prices published on the providers' own sites, checked on the date shown on the page. If a provider raises its renewal price, the comparison shows the new number.
- Who we cover. Providers appear in our comparisons because founders use them, not because a program exists. Some providers we write about have no affiliate relationship with us at all.
How to read our comparisons
Comparison pages state their method on the page: who each service suits, what each package costs, what renews and at what price, and what the checkout adds. We lead with renewal prices because that is the number you pay every year. Where we express a preference, the reason is printed next to it. If you disagree with the reasoning, the underlying numbers are all on the page for you to weigh yourself.
Programs
We earn, or may earn, commissions through affiliate programs operated by or for the providers covered on this site, including network programs such as Awin and Impact and providers' own in-house programs. A link being an affiliate link is not a guarantee of quality, ours or theirs; it is simply how the site is paid for.
