Efficient and professional assistance in quickly setting up my LLC.

Should have started with Legal Zoom! Spoke with Gianna on the phone to set it up, logged into my account, and was done in an hour! Thorough and reliable.
BEST PHONE CALL IN THE 364.25 DAYS OF 2025
Wow! Being nervous and not knowing exactly which direction to take I went online last night and found LegalZoom. I wasn’t completely sure about it (getting the LLC) and my anxiety kicked in so I backed out of it. My number must have saved anyway in their archive because I received a call this morning. Martha Anguiano called and the encounter with her was just what I needed to encourage me further with my LLC process. She was very polite, knowledgeable and immediately gave me a list of what I can choose from to start. After discussing with her more about my plans she suggested the best start up package for me. Martha was so genuinely enthusiastic about my idea that I felt truly comfortable sharing with her. After getting off the phone my smile and heart expressed the connection that was made even if it’s only for the professionalism she offers as an agent, I’m grateful it was her that called as I stated to her, “I’m not sure how it would have went if it were another agent that called.” (I can be nervous when speaking and studdar my words but she made me feel completely heard and understood) I can only hope and believe the entire Team at LeagalZoom is just as pleasant, knowledgeable and concerned for the customers as she exemplified. If you see this message Martha, thank you so much you’re definitely a Golden Star in this universe. ⭐️✨⭐️ Looking forward to working with you & LegalZoom. Thank You!

Why choose LegalZoom over CorpNet?
LegalZoom and CorpNet both handle core LLC formation tasks, including checking name availability and filing your articles of organization. But once your LLC is approved, LegalZoom gives you more ways to get your business organized, protected, and ready to operate.
Attorney guidance from day one
The first weeks of running an LLC come with no shortage of legal questions, from ownership and management structure to contracts, compliance, and next steps after formation.
LegalZoom gives you a direct path to attorney guidance when those questions come up, with unlimited 30-minute consultations on new topics included in the Pro and Premium plans for 30 days. You can choose from a network of vetted business attorneys and schedule a consultation at a convenient time, often within 24 to 48 hours.
CorpNet doesn't include attorney consultations in any of its LLC formation packages. When a legal question comes up, you’ll need to find an attorney and get on their schedule. And hiring one isn't cheap, with business attorney average rates around $377 per hour in the U.S.
150+ legal documents, ready to sign
LegalZoom Pro and Premium plans include access to 150+ attorney-drafted document templates and unlimited eSignatures for one year.
That gives you a head start on the documents your LLC may need after formation, including service agreements, NDAs, employment documents, and other paperwork that helps you run the business. Plus, you can even have a LegalZoom network attorney review the paperwork you create to help ensure it’s accurate and tailored to your needs.
CorpNet doesn't offer a legal template library, so you have to piece it together yourself through separate subscriptions, one-off templates, or attorney fees every time a new document comes up.
Long-term support as your business grows
LegalZoom lets you start with formation, then add the services your LLC needs as it grows, from registered agent and compliance support to business licenses, virtual mail, trademarks, and more.
CorpNet includes its registered agent service for one year and offers a free compliance tool for reminders and alerts. But reminders aren't filings. The tool won't submit anything on your behalf, so when deadlines arrive, the work still falls on you unless you pay for CorpNet’s filing service.
LegalZoom offers registered agent service separately, plus compliance support that goes beyond just reminders. Our Compliance Filings plan tracks your deadlines and prepares and submits required state filings on your behalf. And if your needs get more complex, higher-touch support is available as your business scales.
Faster standard processing
LegalZoom gives you clearer expectations for filing speed. Standard processing takes 5 to 14 business days, while expedited processing can get your formation documents submitted to the state in as little as one business day for $99.
CorpNet’s processing times are harder to pin down. Its express filing page quotes a standard processing time of 3 to 4 days, but that doesn't match what you'll see at checkout. In Texas and Florida, for example, standard filing runs 30 to 40 days, and 24-hour filing either isn't available or stretches to 2 to 3 days.
Speeding things up with CorpNet isn't cheap either, with express filing at $150 and 24-hour filing at $250. Either way, LegalZoom gives you clearer terms and a better deal, with one-day expedited filing for less than half the cost of CorpNet's 24-hour option.
A track record that speaks for itself
CorpNet has a strong 4.8-star average on Trustpilot, but that rating is based on just 1,000+ reviews. LegalZoom has a 4.6-star average with more than 31,000 Trustpilot reviews, giving business owners a much larger base of customer feedback to consider.
With more than 25 years in business and 5M+ businesses formed, LegalZoom also brings more real-world experience to the table. CorpNet has been around since 2009 and has formed more than 100,000 businesses, making LegalZoom the more tested choice from the start.

LegalZoom vs. CorpNet: Which service gives you more value?
CorpNet's packages may seem comparable in price, but the features tell a different story. Here's what it would actually cost to match what LegalZoom includes by default.
LegalZoom Pro
To match CorpNet Deluxe, LegalZoom Pro would need:
Base plan. $249 + state filing fees
Registered agent service for one year. $249
Feature-matched total: about $498
CorpNet Deluxe
To match LegalZoom Pro, CorpNet Deluxe would need:
Base plan. $219 + state filing fees
Operating agreement. $99
Attorney support. $754 (local attorney)*
Feature-matched total: about $1,072
LegalZoom Premium
To match CorpNet Complete, LegalZoom Premium would need:
Base plan. $299 + state filing fees
Registered agent service for one year. $249
Feature-matched total: about $548
CorpNet Complete
To match LegalZoom Premium, CorpNet Complete would need:
Base plan. $269 + state filing fees
Attorney support. $754 (local attorney)*
Comparable bookkeeping tools for six months. ~$300**
Feature-matched total: about $1,323
The difference in value is hard to ignore. CorpNet's packages leave out attorney access, legal documents, and key business tools—and adding them on your own costs far more than upgrading to LegalZoom from the start. For founders who want real support after the first filing, LegalZoom is the stronger choice.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between LegalZoom and CorpNet?
CorpNet is primarily a formation and compliance service. LegalZoom covers that ground and much more, offering attorney-backed LLC formation, compliance services with dedicated Business Manager support, virtual mail, intellectual property protection, ongoing attorney access, and more.
Does CorpNet offer attorney consultations or legal documents?
No. CorpNet doesn't include attorney consultations, document review, or a legal template library in any of its LLC formation packages. For legal support, you'd need to find and hire an attorney on your own. For documents, you'd need to source templates separately or pay for a third-party service. It's a workable path, but it adds cost and coordination that LegalZoom handles for you out of the box.
How long does LLC formation take with LegalZoom vs. CorpNet?
LegalZoom's standard processing takes 5 to 14 business days, while CorpNet's can run up to 30–40 days, depending on the state. Both services offer expedited filing that can get your paperwork submitted in as little as one business day—$99 with LegalZoom and $250 with CorpNet. That said, CorpNet doesn’t offer 1-day filing in every state.
Keep in mind that these are service processing times, not state approval times. Your state still needs to review and approve the filing, though a faster submission can certainly help move things along.
When would I actually need an attorney during LLC formation?
It's hard to say exactly when, but most business owners run into a legal question sooner than they expect. It might come up during formation when you're drafting an operating agreement, or later when you're bringing on a partner, signing a client contract, or figuring out your compliance obligations.
The question isn't really whether you'll need guidance. It's whether you'll have a fast, affordable way to get it. With LegalZoom, attorney access is already built in. You can schedule a consultation with an experienced business attorney, often within 24 to 48 hours, without the hassle of finding one on your own.
