About Inc Authority

Inc Authority has provided free LLC formation since 2002, making it one of the longest-running free formation services in the market. The completely free tier covers LLC preparation and state filing coordination; the company earns revenue through upsells of registered agent service, EIN filing, rush processing, and business credit building tools.

The platform's business credit building toolkit distinguishes it from competitors—Inc Authority provides a structured program for establishing business credit separate from personal credit, which is valuable for founders who plan to seek business financing. The formation process includes a consultation call with a business formation specialist.

Inc Authority is best for first-time business owners who want zero upfront cost and appreciate the guided consultation model. The free formation with optional upsells means the total cost depends on which add-ons are selected, ranging from $0 to several hundred dollars with registered agent and EIN services.
