FAQ
Common questions.
Is Bizee (formerly Incfile) a bad choice?
No: it is a real, established formation service with a low entry price, and for a simple one-time filing it works fine. The trade-off people most often cite is a funnel built around add-on upsells and a registered-agent fee that begins after the first year, so the true multi-year cost can run higher than the headline. File.Business is built for transparent, all-in-one filing without that upsell path.
Can I migrate my LLC from Bizee to File.Business?
Yes: your LLC belongs to you, not to any provider, so you can switch your registered agent and move your ongoing filings to us with a simple change filing, without re-forming the company. We handle the agent change with the state and bring your compliance into one place so nothing is left scattered.
Do you handle the same filings?
Yes, and more: we handle formation, EIN, registered agent, annual reports, amendments, dissolution, foreign qualification, and the full range of state filings, plus ongoing compliance tracking. The real difference is having every filing and deadline in one system rather than piecing them together across separate purchases. See our services.
How does registered agent pricing compare?
Both charge a per-year agent fee, and the thing to watch with any budget provider is a low or free first year that rises afterward, so compare the multi-year cost rather than just the year-one price. Our pricing is on the pricing page, passed through transparently with no surprise increases buried in the terms.
Will my LLC name and details carry over?
Yes: switching providers does not change your entity, its name, EIN, or formation date, because those live with the state and the IRS, not with the service you used to file. We simply become your registered agent and handle your filings going forward, so the switch is invisible to your business and its records.
Do you push add-ons aggressively at checkout?
No: our model is transparent pricing for the filings you actually need, rather than a low headline price padded by a series of checkout add-ons. You can add services when you genuinely need them, without a funnel steering you toward extras at every step of the process.
What about my BOI report?
As of 2026, most US-formed entities are exempt from federal beneficial-ownership reporting under FinCEN's 2025 rule, so there is often nothing to file, and we confirm your specific situation rather than selling a filing you may not owe. See who still has to file for the current rules.
Is there real human support?
Yes: we provide human support rather than routing everything through a chatbot or a long queue, which matters most when a filing is time-sensitive or a state rejects something. We deal with the state agency on your behalf so you are not the one on hold trying to decode a rejection notice.
Why switch from Bizee to File.Business?
If you want every filing, deadline, and document in one place with transparent pricing and real support, rather than a low entry price followed by upsells and a rising agent fee, the switch is straightforward. We migrate your registered agent and compliance without re-forming the company, so there is no disruption.
