Why Choose CorpNet Over BetterLegal?
Below is a list of key advantages CorpNet may have over BetterLegal and other well-known providers.
More Expansive Business Formation and Compliance Capabilities
CorpNet offers focused expertise in all aspects of formation and compliance. Our comprehensive, flexible solution covers a full spectrum of filings and features personalized customer support.
BetterLegal provides a less robust selection of services, so they might not have all the filing capabilities you need as your business grows and evolves.
While both companies handle initial reports, annual reports, amendments, dissolutions, EIN applications, etc., CorpNet also directly handles payroll tax registrations, payroll tax account closures, 501(c) (3) filings, DBAs, apostille certifications, and IRS change letters. Having a single source for virtually all your filings is convenient and saves time!
Support for More Entity Types
CorpNet handles filings for a wider array of entity types—including LLCs, C Corporations, Professional LLCs, Series LLCs, Professional Corporations, S Corporations, Nonprofit Corporations, and LLPs—in all 50 states.
BetterLegal supports a more limited range of entities.
Registered Agent Services From One Reliable Resource
CorpNet offers registered agent services in every state, and can receive legal notices, government correspondence, and other official documents on your behalf, no matter where you conduct business. Each of our formation packages includes free registered agent services for a period of time (up to a full year). We also offer discounted volume-based pricing for businesses with a large number of entities or registrations across multiple states.
According to BetterLegal’s Terms of Service, the company may work with third-party providers and sub-providers of their choice to provide some or all of its registered agent services. They also state that they may limit or restrict users’ access to all or part of the service.
White-Glove Customer Support
CorpNet provides hands-on, personalized support by phone, email, online form, and live chat to answer your questions and address your concerns. Our U.S.-based customer support team is eager to assist with formation and compliance filings in any state. Many accountants, attorneys, and bookkeepers rely on CorpNet to handle their clients’ entity filings.
BetterLegal provides customer service by email or online form. Phone support is available when logged into their online portal.
Money-Back Guarantee
Another way CorpNet exceeds expectations is our 100% satisfaction guarantee if you are not happy with the quality of our services. Just let us know within 60 days of your purchase, and we will fully refund our service fees. Not all providers offer this peace of mind!
According to BetterLegal’s terms of service, they will pay penalties if they are at fault for missing a deadline. Otherwise, purchases through their website are final and nonrefundable.
Bonus: The CorpNet Partner Program
CorpNet even provides an opportunity for professional services providers (such as accountants, bookkeepers, business coaches and consultants, and attorneys) to add a new revenue stream with minimal effort and no membership fees. Choose to participate in our Reseller or Referral program (or both!) and boost your business income.
- Referral Program – Refer your clients to CorpNet for their formation and compliance filing needs and earn a commission for every referral that becomes a completed order.
- Reseller Program – Brand and sell our services as your own as we act as your silent fulfillment partner. We give you discounted pricing on our service rates and you can charge your clientele whatever makes sense for you and them. Get all of the credit while we do all of the work behind the scenes.
