Is the ZenBusiness Worth It?

Best all-in-one business platform. ZenBusiness is the nicest product of the group and the best place to run compliance from year to year. Its registered agent pricing is what keeps it off the top spot.

ZenBusiness Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Clearest dashboard: filings, deadlines, documents and money tools in one place
  • Worry-Free Compliance files your annual report
  • Banking, invoicing and bookkeeping add-ons that actually work
  • Strong phone and chat support
Cons
  • Registered agent is $199 a year from day one — the most expensive here
  • Standard filing took ten business days; faster costs more
  • Annual subscriptions renew automatically
