Affiliate Disclosure

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). It explains how Check LLC Name earns money, so you can weigh anything you read here accordingly.

Partner (affiliate) links

Some links on this site that lead to business formation services — including, for example, Northwest Registered Agent and ZenBusiness — are partner (affiliate) links. If you click one of those links and then purchase a service from that company, the company may pay Check LLC Name a commission (often called a CPA, or cost-per-acquisition, payment).

• The commission is paid by the company out of its own marketing budget.
• It costs you nothing extra. The price you pay the service is the same whether or not you arrived through a partner link.
• A commission is earned only if you actually buy. Clicking a link, by itself, earns us nothing in most programmes.

This disclosure applies to all partner links anywhere on this site, including links inside the name-check tool's checklist and the service-comparison sections of our guides. Where practical, partner links are presented alongside — never instead of — the free official do-it-yourself route.

What commissions never buy

• They never change a guide's facts. State fees, deadlines, name rules, and warnings come from official state sources and are quoted the same way whether or not a partner pays us.
• They never buy placement or a recommendation. The official DIY filing route appears first and in full on every state page, and it is the cheapest option for most simple LLCs — we say so plainly.
• We do not rank formation services by how much they pay. If we compare services in the future, the comparison will be based on stated prices and features, and this page will be updated.

Other advertising

This site may in the future display advertising served by an ad network. Any such advertising will be recognisable as advertising, and advertisers have no influence over guide content.

The limits of our information

Check LLC Name is an informational publisher, not a law firm, accounting firm, or filing service. State fees quoted here are the government's filing fees, taken from official schedules; formation services set their own prices on top of those fees and may change them at any time — check the service's own site for its current pricing before you buy.
