We Test Services So You Don't Waste Money
LLCBC is an independent educational blog. We pay for LLC formation services, bank accounts, and tax filings with our own money — then tell you honestly what works for non-resident entrepreneurs.
Independent Research, Published for Free
We are not a law firm, not a formation service, and not a government agency. We are bloggers who got tired of affiliate sites recommending the highest-paying service instead of the best one.
Every guide on LLCBC is based on real testing. We pay state filing fees with our own credit cards. We open bank accounts with our own passports. We file tax forms and document every rejection, delay, and hidden fee. Then we publish everything — so you can make an informed decision without losing $500 on the wrong service.
⚠️ Not Legal or Tax AdviceLLCBC publishes educational content only. We are not attorneys, CPAs, or financial advisors. Always consult a qualified professional before making legal or tax decisions. Our guides are starting points, not substitutes for personalized professional advice.
How This Blog Makes Money
We believe you deserve to know exactly how we fund this site. LLCBC operates on two revenue streams only — and both are visible, not hidden.
Google AdSense
Display ads appear in designated slots throughout our articles. We do not control which ads Google shows, and we never sell direct ad placements to formation services.
Affiliate Commissions
When we genuinely recommend a service, we use affiliate links. If you choose to sign up through our link, we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We only affiliate with services we have personally tested.
What We Will Never Do
Our "Best Budget" pick in 2026 is the same as 2024 — because it still offers the best value, not because it pays the highest commission.
How Every Guide Is Created
We Pay With Real Money
No free trials, no demo accounts. We use our own funds to test formation services, open bank accounts, and file tax forms. Every screenshot is from a live account.
We Document Everything
Processing times, hidden fees, support response quality, and rejection reasons. If a service delays our filing, you will read about it — even if they pay commissions.
We Verify Against Official Sources
Every tax guide is cross-checked with IRS publications and state regulations. We update content within 48 hours of any rule change.
We Publish & Update Monthly
Prices change. Features change. Laws change. We revisit every guide monthly to ensure you never act on outdated information from 2023.
Bloggers, Not Bureaucrats
We are a team of researchers, former non-resident founders, and fintech enthusiasts who got tired of bad advice.
Between us, we have tested LLC formation in Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico, and Florida. We have been rejected by Mercury, approved by Relay, and confused by Wise Business — so we can write guides that anticipate your actual problems, not theoretical ones.
We stay semi-anonymous because this blog is about the quality of information, not personal brands. The focus belongs on your business, not ours.
