We’re proud to offer New York publication service — see our pricing page for more information about this service. Unfortunately, Tailor Brands doesn’t provide assistance with publication requirements at this time.

Tailor Brands doesn’t have a customer-friendly refund policy. Tailor Brands says it has different refund policies for varying situations, depending on what you bought and when. If you need a refund, you’ll need to email support@tailorbrands.com and hope they agree to issue it. Their terms of service page states, “To the maximum extent permitted by law and unless otherwise specified herein, all fees are non-refundable.”

On the other hand, we have one of the industry’s most reasonable refund policies. We provide our customers with a satisfaction guarantee that says we’ll grant a refund to anyone requesting one for any reason within 60 days of their purchase. Unlike Tailor Brands, we don’t even have a convenience fee, which is the icing on the cake. For full refund details, please read our 60-day money-back guarantee.

ZenBusiness’s processing time is faster. With standard processing, ZenBusiness can file your formation paperwork with the state within 7 to 10 business days, while Tailor Brands can file within 14 business days. Both companies have expedited/rush services that can be included with their paid plans. ZenBusiness’s rush filing service can file your LLC or corporation paperwork within one business day, while Tailor Brands expedited service can file your formation paperwork within two business days.

Note that these times refer to the companies’s internal processing times and not the state’s processing times, which will vary. Some Secretary of State offices may take weeks to approve your formation paperwork.

You can. In fact, plenty of people do form their own LLCs without assistance every day. However, we simply like to caution our readers that because every state has its own requirements to form an LLC, it can be a hassle to familiarize yourself with the details of your state’s specific rules and regulations.

In addition, we appreciate the peace of mind we get from hiring a professional service because we trust their expertise. The ZenBusiness LLC service can form your LLC for free as long as you cover the state fees.

In our opinion, Tailor Brands’ offering of several helpful branding tools is an advantage over many competitors. As for us at ZenBusiness, we have a better customer feedback reputation than Tailor Brands, with thousands of positive reviews available online and only a small handful of critical feedback. Note that we also have more than twice as many reviews as Tailor Brands.

ZenBusiness offers more ongoing compliance support than Tailor Brands by providing both registered agent service and standalone annual report filing, while Tailor Brands limits these services to select formation packages.

ZenBusiness offers registered agent service for $199 per year and can also file your LLC annual report for $100 each, plus any required state fees.

Tailor Brands offers registered agent service for $199 annually, but it currently appears to only be available as part of their LLC formation process, not as a separate add-on. Tailor Brands also includes annual report filing in certain packages, but does not appear to offer it for individual purchase.
