How it helps you
For a first-time founder, LegalZoom demystifies setting up an LLC with a guided flow and can bundle in an EIN, operating agreement, and legal document library. Its attorney-support tiers give access to real legal advice without a full retainer.

- Basic formation plan is $0 plus state filing fees
- Pro plan is $249 (adds EIN, operating agreement, compliance calendar)
- Premium plan is $399 with a 30-minute attorney consultation
- Registered agent service is $249/year (separate from formation plans)
- Real year-one cost often lands near $500-$750 once state fees and add-ons are included
Pricing: Formation from $0 + state fees; Pro $249, Premium $399
Caveats
State filing fees, a pricey $249/year registered agent, and a Business Advisory Plan that renews at $49/mo push the true cost well above the headline price, so read the add-ons carefully.
Bottom line
Pick LegalZoom when you want a well-known, guided formation service with optional attorney access and don't mind paying a premium.
