Free LLC FAQs
-
To form a free LLC with ZenBusiness, choose our Starter Package, which costs $0 plus state fees for your LLC formation filing.
After you select the Starter Package, ZenBusiness walks you through an online questionnaire to collect your business details. ZenBusiness then prepares and files your articles of organization with the state and provides electronic access to your documents in your dashboard.
The Starter Package also includes a name availability search, Worry-Free Compliance free for the first year (it renews at $199 per year), a 100% accuracy guarantee, lifetime support, compliance alerts, Velo AI guidance, a mobile app, a personalized dashboard with unlimited storage, partner offers, and a 30-day free trial of the website builder. The website builder trial is preselected at checkout, so you can remove it before you buy, and it renews at $15 monthly after the trial.

With ZenBusiness, there are two separate fees when you form an LLC.
The first fee is what you pay ZenBusiness for our formation services. We offer several packages with different levels of service to help you start and run your business. The second fee is the state filing fee, which varies by state. You can use our online calculator to see your state’s LLC filing cost, and we pass those state fees directly to the state.
-
The cost to form an LLC with ZenBusiness starts at $0 plus state fees, since every state charges its own separate filing fee.
The ZenBusiness Starter Package includes the preparation and filing of your formation documents, our 100% accuracy guarantee, a free trial on your first year of Worry‑Free Compliance service, access to Velo AI, a personalized dashboard for document storage, lifetime support, compliance alerts, a mobile app, partner offers, and a 30‑day trial of the website builder (renews at $15 monthly).
State filing fees are set by each state government, vary by state, and are not included in the ZenBusiness service price.

The Starter Package includes a name availability search, preparation and filing of your articles of organization, electronic document access, a personalized dashboard with unlimited storage, our 100% accuracy guarantee, Worry-Free Compliance free for the first year, lifetime support, compliance alerts, access to Velo AI guidance, our mobile app, partner offers, and a 30-day free trial of the website builder. The website builder trial is preselected at checkout, so you can uncheck it before you buy, and it renews at $15 per month.

While ZenBusiness offers a free LLC formation service, there are still state fees that apply when forming an LLC in California. These fees are determined by the state of California and are not included in our free LLC formation service. An LLC in California costs $70. On top of that you owe a $20 Statement of Information within 90 days of registering, and the Franchise Tax Board’s $800 annual tax, due by the 15th day of the 4th month after you file, so plan on roughly $890 in state charges in your first year.

Yes, you can take advantage of our free LLC formation service in Florida, but it’s important to note that there are state fees for filing an LLC in Florida. These fees are set by the state and are separate from our service. Your articles of organization for an LLC in Florida currently costs $125.
