## Compare filing approaches

## Bizee

Formerly Incfile · company formation provider

If you want a service to prepare and submit paperwork, start with Bizee’s three packages, then account for state fees and later subscriptions.

DIRECT FILING

## File directly with your state

If you can prepare documents and manage official notices and upkeep, start with your state filing office. Avoiding a service charge does not remove state fees or later costs.

## Separate formation, address and hosting needs

| Item | Main purpose | What to check |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Formation service | Prepares and submits formation paperwork. | State, entity type, service charge and state fee. |
| Registered agent | Receives legal and official documents in the registration state. | In-state physical presence, scope, renewals and replacement process. |
| Virtual mailbox / mailing address | Receives, scans or forwards mail, subject to provider terms. | Company-name support, unit format, packages and forwarding rules. |
| VPS / cloud hosting | Runs websites, applications and remote services. | Region, resources, network and backups. |

The SBA describes a registered agent as the recipient of official and legal documents. Whether a mailing address fits a particular state form or institution depends on that field’s requirements and the service contract.

## Budget beyond the initial filing

Confirm your operating location, entity type and upkeep needs before comparing packages. Our costs-and-addresses guide separates first-year and second-year budgets and explains which EIN application route international applicants need to check.
