Filenow

Filenow is an online service for forming companies in the United States, guiding customers through the preparation and filing of documents. The operating entity is Filenow, LLC.

Services

Three services are listed: company registration, business licensing and registered agent service. A registered agent receives legal and tax correspondence on behalf of the company in the state of formation, so the service is a requirement for most US entities rather than an optional extra.

Published pricing

The site shows several packages in US dollars. Starter costs 49 USD as a one-time payment, with state fees charged on top. Premium costs 199 USD, also with state fees extra, and includes the first year of registered agent service. A registered agent renewal is priced separately. These are listed prices, not individual quotes, and the state fee differs between states.

Market and fit

The only market is the United States. The service suits founders, including those living abroad, who want a low-cost filing and a registered agent without hiring a law firm. It is worth checking what the packages exclude, for example tax identification, bank account help and annual filings.
