How We Keep Simple LLCs Free
A transparent look at our affiliate relationships
The Simple Truth
Here's the deal: Yes, we earn commissions from some LLC services when you click our links and sign up.
But here's what's more important: It doesn't affect our reviews, it doesn't cost you extra, and it's how we keep this site completely free for you.
We believe you deserve to know exactly how we operate, so let's break it down...
Why We Use Affiliate Links
It's pretty simple - they help us help you
Keeps Everything Free
No paywalls, no subscriptions, no premium content. Every guide, comparison, and resource remains free for everyone who needs it.
Funds Our Research
We spend countless hours researching, testing, and updating our content. Affiliate commissions let us do this full-time.
Maintains Independence
We're not owned by any LLC service. Affiliate income from multiple sources keeps us independent and unbiased.
Enables Growth
It helps us create more content, review more services, and build better tools to help entrepreneurs like you.
What This Means for You
No Extra Cost
You pay the exact same price whether you use our links or go directly.
Free Resources
Helps us create guides, comparisons, and tools without charging you.
Your Choice
You're never obligated to use our links - we're just happy to help.
Think of it this way: If our content saves you even one hour of research or helps you avoid one overpriced service, you've already won - and it didn't cost you anything.
Our Review Process
How we maintain editorial independence
Same Criteria for Everyone
Every service gets evaluated on pricing, features, ease of use, customer support, and overall value - regardless of affiliate status.
Cons Are Always Included
Read any of our reviews - we always list drawbacks. No service is perfect, and we make sure you know the limitations.
Non-Affiliate Services Reviewed Too
We review and recommend services without affiliate programs when they're genuinely good options for users.
Regular Updates
Services change, and so do our reviews. We update content when services improve or decline, regardless of commissions.
Our Promises to You
These are the principles we'll never compromise on
We'll never recommend a bad service for commission
Quality and value come first, always.
We'll always disclose affiliate relationships
Transparency is non-negotiable for us.
We'll always share both pros and cons
Every service has strengths and weaknesses.
We'll keep looking for better options
The best service today might not be tomorrow.
Common Questions
Let's address the elephant in the room
Q: Do you get paid more for recommending certain services?
A: Some services pay different commission rates, but this never influences our rankings. We've recommended services with lower commissions (or no commissions) when they're genuinely better for users.
Q: How do I know your reviews are honest?
A: Check our reviews - we always list drawbacks and limitations. No service is perfect, and we make sure you know the downsides. Plus, we review services that don't pay us anything.
Q: Can I trust your comparisons?
A: Absolutely. We use the same evaluation criteria for every service: pricing, features, ease of use, customer support, and value. Affiliate status doesn't change how we score.
Q: What if I don't want to use affiliate links?
A: No problem! You can always go directly to any service's website. We're here to provide information - how you use it is entirely up to you.
Q: Do all the services you review have affiliate programs?
A: No, we review services based on what's best for forming LLCs, not what pays commissions. Some of our recommended services don't have affiliate programs at all.
