Our Methodology

  • We examine the customer support of each service provider: We interact with customer support teams to assess their friendliness, expertise, and helpfulness in assisting customers. We explore the various customer support channels they offer and evaluate their responsiveness and quality of service.
  • We examine customer reviews and ratings: We explore what customers are saying by analyzing their feedback and reviews from various sources, such as our own feedback form found on each review page, online review platforms, social media platforms, and industry-specific forums.
  • We evaluate company-provided samples: We occasionally contact companies and ask for samples such as “articles of organization” or “operating agreements” to examine their quality and how professionally they are created.
  • We analyze each service provider’s website: We analyze the design, user experience, and accessibility of the company’s website. Also, we examine its ease of navigation and the ability to find relevant information.
  • We analyze the services they provide: We evaluate the range and quality of services offered by each company.
  • We assess value for money: We carefully consider the cost-effectiveness and value the service providers offer.
  • We research company history: We explore each service provider’s background, reputation, and industry standing, considering the company’s years of operation, expertise in LLC formation services, notable accolades, or industry recognition. This helps us understand their track record and position in the market.
  • We evaluate application processing speed: We analyze how long it usually takes for the company to form an LLC and deliver the necessary documents. We check if they offer faster processing options and assess how dependable their turnaround times are based on what customers have said in their reviews and testimonials.
  • We examine the range of services and resources provided: We consider if the service provider goes beyond just helping with the initial formation process by offering extra resources or tools to assist LLC owners. These additional offerings might include things like keeping track of compliance, providing document templates, offering educational materials, or providing ongoing support and guidance.
  • We analyze refund and satisfaction guarantee policies: We examine the company’s refund policy, satisfaction guarantee, or any other promises they make to customers. Also, we evaluate how straightforward and fair their refund process is, if it’s applicable.
