Why I'm introducing ZenBusiness
The paperwork is where a lot of business ideas stall.
One of the most common questions I get from people starting out is what to do first. Which structure? Which forms? What happens after the state says yes? ZenBusiness takes the filing off your plate, and Velo helps you lay out the steps that follow.
That second part matters to me, because forming the LLC is only the start. Next comes your EIN, a business bank account, and the records that help you build business credit and prepare for funding later. One honest note: an LLC on its own doesn't guarantee funding, tax savings, or protection of your personal assets in every situation.

What ZenBusiness helps with
From idea to official, without guessing the steps.
Three things you get when you start your LLC through ZenBusiness.
Plan it with Velo
Velo is ZenBusiness's AI business guide, and it's free to try with no credit card. Its Blueprint builds a step-by-step launch plan around your idea, your state, and your pace.
Know what comes after
Filing is step one. Velo can file paperwork, create documents, and flag annual reports, license renewals, and tax deadlines before they sneak up on you. When you need a person, it brings in a ZenBusiness expert.
What happens when you click
You go straight to ZenBusiness. Here's what to expect.
This page doesn't ask for any of your information. Everything you enter goes into ZenBusiness's own site and checkout.
Land on ZenBusiness's LLC page
The button takes you to ZenBusiness. You can ask Velo questions first or start your order right away.
Choose your state and package
Starter is $0 plus your state's filing fee. If you look at a paid package, check what's included and what renews each year before you check out.
ZenBusiness files with your state
Your state reviews and approves the filing. How long that takes depends on the state and the package you choose.
State filing fees are set by each state and charged on top of the package price. Approval and timing are up to the state, so no formation service can promise instant approval.
Quick answers
A few things to know before you start.
Based on ZenBusiness's published information as of October 2026. Check the current details on ZenBusiness before you buy.
The Starter package is $0, but you still pay your state's filing fee, which varies by state. Paid packages add more services and renew annually, so check what's included and what renews before you choose one.
Velo is ZenBusiness's AI business guide. It's free to try, and you don't need a credit card. It can build a step-by-step launch plan, handle paperwork and documents, and flag deadlines like annual reports before they're due. When something needs a person, it loops in a ZenBusiness expert. It isn't a substitute for advice from a lawyer or accountant.
It can be part of the foundation. Many funding providers look for a registered business, an EIN, and a business bank account. But an LLC on its own doesn't guarantee approval, better terms, or tax savings. Time in business, revenue, and credit history still matter.
