One to seven business days, not including state processing time
The flexible nature of ZenBusiness' pricing structure means businesses can pick and choose the features they need, albeit at fairly high add-on prices for the lower-tier plans. Its Starter plan offers filing in five to seven business days as well as one free year of "worry-free compliance," while all other LLC features are available at varying prices, allowing businesses to build their own tailored bundle.
Upgrading to the Pro plan includes compliance features and an operating agreement, expedited filing and an employer identification number (EIN). The Premium plan gives you access to the full set of LLC services in one inclusive price. You'll be able to create business documents, a business website, a domain name and business email address.
While it offers a full array of business features, it does lack on the legal side, so those looking for more attorney-based services might prefer other providers.
Along with a few other providers on our list, ZenBusiness offers free standard LLC filing, so you only need to pay the Florida state fee of $100. While you can benefit from the flexibility offered by ZenBusiness' add-on structure on the lower tiers, these can be pricey.
After your first year of worry-free compliance, it resumes at $199 a year. You'll also need to pay $99 each for an operating agreement and EIN and $79 for faster filing. For businesses that want each of these services, it will make more sense to start with the Pro plan, which includes them all for $199 a year.
ZenBusiness' customer service team is available every day of the week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT, Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT on weekends. You can access support by phone and live chat as well as email, ideal for getting a quick response when you need it. Online reviews of its customer service are largely positive too.
With an Excellent score of 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 16,000 reviews at the time of writing, ZenBusiness is very popular with its customers. Many of the verified online reviews cite excellent customer service, although there is some mixed feedback on pricing.
