Features
In the rush to get your LLC off the ground, thoughts about complying with New Hampshire regulations related to LLC management and operation may be tossed aside. However, the time to think about compliance is well before you receive overdue or noncompliance notices from the New Hampshire Department of State Corporation Division. BetterLegal’s compliance service gives LLCs one less thing to worry about by handling all the paperwork required to maintain your company’s good standing with the state.
BetterLegal offers only one LLC formation package. Overall, it’s pretty robust. In addition to the business filing, you get an operating agreement, EIN and a banking resolution (this identifies who is permitted to access company bank accounts). A free business website or online store is also included.
One nice extra we didn’t see commonly advertised elsewhere is the tax analysis feature. With your LLC formation package, you’re entitled to a business tax analysis with a virtual tax service. Since an LLC can be taxed as either a pass-through entity (profits and losses “pass through” the company and are declared on the business owner’s personal income tax forms) or a corporation, this tax advice may be worth your time.
While there are benefits, note that you’ll have to pay extra for registered agent services ($10 per month or $90 per year) with this provider. Given the already high price, that’s not ideal.
Pricing
When it comes to pricing, BetterLegal stands out from the crowd—in a negative way. Instead of offering different tiers of pricing, like most competitors, this provider just has one LLC formation package, coming in at a whopping $299, plus the $100. While it’s pretty comprehensive, the lack of cheaper plan options may scare off some thrifty entrepreneurs.
The company’s terms and conditions state that any purchases made through its website are final and will not be refunded.
Customer Service
BetterLegal’s customer service is available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. You can contact the support team by phone, live chat or online form. There is also an online help page with articles on everything from hiring to choosing a business model.
Reputation
BetterLegal’s Trustpilot reviews are minimal, at less than 500. However, they are overall fairly positive, averaging more than 4.5 stars. Customers praise the service’s simplicity and efficiency. BetterLegal is also BBB accredited.
