ZenBusiness, LegalZoom, and Bizee use à la carte pricing, meaning essentials like EIN filing, registered agents, and annual reports often cost extra.
By the time most business owners add what they actually need, the total cost is significantly higher than expected.
Firstep includes what others upsell.
For $97/month, Firstep replaces multiple services with one simple system:
Instead of paying for compliance, software, and add-ons separately, Firstep gives you a complete business backbone — designed to support you every month, not just at setup.
