Frequently Asked Questions

Is this legal to offer?

Yes, but understand the boundaries. You provide formation services, not legal advice. Partner with lawyers for complex questions. Check regulations.

How do you compete with Stripe Atlas?

Different geography (non-US), lower pricing, better support, additional services (bookkeeping, tax), or specific founder segments.

What about ongoing revenue?

Registered agent fees, compliance services, annual reports, bookkeeping, and banking partnerships create recurring revenue.
