For legal-tech, doc services, and firms at volume

Deliver formation at scale. Without building the engine

Legal-technology platforms, document services, and firms that file at volume all need the same thing: reliable formation, a registered agent in every state, and compliance filings behind them. File.Business is that engine, delivered by API or under your own brand, so you offer it without building and staffing it yourself.

Formation is a product feature. The plumbing is a company

Offering entity formation and compliance sounds simple until you build it: a registered agent relationship in all fifty states, a way to file with each secretary of state, deadline tracking per entity, and a support team when a filing bounces. That is not a feature, it is an operations company, and it competes for the engineering and staff you would rather spend on your own product.

File.Business is that operations company, exposed as an API and available as white-label. You keep your product and your clients; we run the formation, registered agent, and compliance layer nationwide beneath it.

Building it yourself
  • Fifty separate agent relationships
  • An integration per secretary of state
  • Deadline tracking you maintain
  • A filing support team to staff
  • Engineering pulled off your product
On File.Business
  • One nationwide agent network
  • One API for every state
  • Compliance tracked for you
  • Filing operations we run
  • Your team stays on your product
Fifty states, one relationship

Set your coverage, see how little you manage

However many states your clients form and expand into, it is one contract and one integration. Set the number and watch what stays fixed.

12 states today. The same one contract and one API already cover all fifty, so growing into new states is a config change, not a new vendor. Talk to partnerships.

How you go live

From integration to filing at scale

Five steps, in the right order. Select one to see the detail.

Step 1

Choose API or white-label

If you have engineering, the API drives formation and compliance natively inside your product. If you would rather not build, white-label delivers the same service under your brand with minimal integration.

Build on the API, or launch on white-label.

Step 2

Set up the account

We create your provider account, issue sandbox keys for the API, and configure your registered agent coverage and, for white-label, your branding. This is a matter of days.

Step 3

Integrate or apply your brand

Your team connects formation and status endpoints, or you apply your branding to the white-label intake and dashboard. Either way, clients experience one product that is yours.

Step 4

File at volume

Formations, registered agent setups, annual reports, and amendments run through the engine, one at a time or in bulk, with per-entity status and receipts flowing back to your product.

Step 5

Monitor compliance and scale

Every entity you bring in is tracked for deadlines and renewals, surfaced through the API or dashboard, so your clients see status as part of your product while you grow into new states and volume.

How this compares for a provider

Built to power your product, not to compete with it

BosAI for providers

An operator who knows the infrastructure playbook

Ask in plain English. BosAI knows the API, the agent network, and compliance at volume.

BosAIProvider workspace, Cornerstone Legal Services

We only launched in twelve states. Can our users form in the rest without us adding vendors?

Yes. Your one API and one contract already cover all fifty states, so adding the other thirty-eight is a config change, not a new registered agent relationship in each. I can flip on nationwide coverage whenever you are ready to offer it.

A client wants to file forty annual reports at once. Can we do that through you?

Yes, that is a bulk filing. You submit them together, we file each with its state, and per-entity status and receipts flow back to your product. Ten or ten thousand, it is the same pipe. See bulk filings.

Does any of this show File.Business to our users?

Not on white-label, and not through the API, where the experience is entirely inside your product. We are the infrastructure; your users see Cornerstone. We never market to them. See white-label.
From a provider

We shipped formation without building the plumbing

We wanted to add entity formation to our platform, and the more we scoped it, the more it looked like standing up a fifty-state agent network and a filing team, which was months we did not have. We put File.Business behind our product through the API instead. Our users form and stay compliant inside our app, and it all says our name. We shipped a whole product line in weeks, not quarters.

For the questions providers actually ask

Straight answers on coverage, integration, and brand

Who is this for?
Legal-technology platforms, online legal and document services, and firms that form entities and file compliance at volume. If your product or practice delivers formation, registered agent, or ongoing compliance to a book of clients, File.Business can be the engine behind it instead of something you build and staff yourself.
Do you offer a registered agent in all fifty states?
Yes. Instead of stitching together a different registered agent in each state, you get nationwide coverage through one contract and one integration. Your clients get an agent wherever they form or expand, and you get a single relationship to manage instead of fifty. See registered agent.
Can I integrate this into my own product?
Yes. Our API drives formation, registered agent, annual reports, and compliance status, so your platform can offer filings natively without users leaving your product. If you would rather not build, white-label delivers the same service under your brand with less engineering. See the API.
Can it run entirely under my brand?
Yes. With white-label, the intake, the filings, and the compliance dashboard all carry your brand, and File.Business stays invisible. Your clients experience one product, and we operate the filing and registered agent layer underneath it. See white-label.
How do you handle volume?
The platform is built for it. Bulk formation, batch annual reports, and programmatic compliance monitoring let you file for many clients at once, with per-entity status and receipts. Whether you send ten filings a month or ten thousand, it runs on the same infrastructure. See bulk filings.
How do you track compliance for our clients' entities?
Every entity you bring in sits on a compliance calendar with its state deadlines, registered agent renewals, and annual reports, and status is available through the API or the dashboard. You can surface it in your own product so your clients see it as yours. See the compliance calendar.
How does beneficial ownership reporting factor in?
Under the 2025 interim final rule, entities formed in the United States are exempt from filing a beneficial ownership report, while entities formed abroad and registered here generally still report. We monitor the current requirements across the entities you manage so your clients get accurate status as the rules settle.
How do we get started?
Talk to our partnerships team about API or white-label, and we set up your account and, if you are integrating, your sandbox and keys. You can be filing through us in a matter of days. Pricing is published and volume terms are available. Talk to us.
