I'm Kyle Killen. I handle compliance for several companies, and when you do that, you start to notice something: the service fees your competitors charge to handle things like annual reports, franchise tax filings, and registered agent service sound reasonable — until you have multiples.
Then you start to wonder why, exactly, they're charging so much just to file a form on your behalf.
An annual report in Florida is a web form on Sunbiz.org. It takes five minutes. You confirm your address, your officers, and pay $138.75 to the state. That's it. Companies charge $100-$200 on top of that state fee to fill in those fields for you.
When I realized how outrageous the profit margins are in this industry, I decided to build my own solution.
Here's the thing nobody in this industry will tell you: ZenBusiness, LegalZoom, and most of the other formation brands aren't actually filing anything themselves. They're marketing surfaces on top of a handful of national registered agent networks that do the real work — the people who maintain physical offices in every state, hold portal accounts with every Secretary of State, and submit the paperwork.
TrueFormed is the same model. We partner with a national registered agent provider, they handle the fulfillment, and state documents come back to you. Same filings, same network, same result.
Unlike our competitors, we pool our customer filings to qualify for wholesale pricing and pass those rates straight through.You pay what we pay — plus a small fee to cover Stripe, hosting, and keeping the lights on.
If you want to see the math, it's on our wholesale explainer — same filings, same national registered agent network, at roughly a quarter of what the big incumbents charge. We don't think paying 4–6x over the wholesale rate is right.
That's why TrueFormed exists.
Honestly? None of this work is that hard. It's just tedious, easy to forget, and the consequences of missing a deadline are real (late fees, administrative dissolution, loss of good standing).
We think our service is worth what we charge. Our $89 formation bundle does what it would take you a couple hours to do yourself — state filing, EIN from the IRS, Operating Agreement, and setting up a registered agent. Year 2+ is $99/year for Registered Agent service, which also covers your document vault, compliance calendar, and deadline tracking.
It's also not more than a few hours to do it all yourself. And we think you should know that.
So we published step-by-step instructions for every filing we cover. If you'd rather do it yourself, go for it. We're not hiding anything.
Business compliance isn't complicated. It's just another thing on your plate. We take it off your plate for less than anyone else, and we're transparent about every dollar.
If that sounds right to you, start your business for $89.
