What are affiliate links?
LLC Compass contains affiliate links to products and services we recommend. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions pay for the research, hosting, and upkeep of this website and let us keep the guides free.
Affiliate links are disclosed at the top of every article that contains them and carry rel="nofollow sponsored". Our Editorial Policy explains how affiliate relationships do and do not affect what we write.
Which affiliate programs do we participate in?
As of September 2026, all of our active affiliate relationships run through the Awin network:
- Bizee (formerly Incfile) — LLC formation services.
- Registered Agents Inc — registered agent service.
- Zenind — US company formation for non-US founders.
We hold an account with CJ Affiliate but currently promote no CJ merchants, which is why our Privacy Policy mentions CJ tracking cookies. We have applied to additional programs (including doola and Firstbase through PartnerStack); we will list them here if and when they are approved. We do not currently have an affiliate relationship with Northwest Registered Agent, ZenBusiness, or LegalZoom, and links to those companies on this site are not affiliate links.
Our promise to you
We only recommend services we consider reputable, and a commission does not change the rating a service receives. Commission does affect one thing: which of the reputable services appear in the recommendation boxes within and at the end of articles. We do not sell reviews, ratings, or positions in comparison tables.
You are never obligated to use an affiliate link. You can always go directly to the provider’s website.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255). When we may receive compensation from a company, we say so.
