We believe you deserve to know exactly how this site works and how we make money. This page explains our affiliate relationships in plain language — no legal jargon, no fine print.

🔒 FTC Compliant ✅ Editorially Independent 💸 Never Pay-to-Play 🔄 Updated Monthly

The Short Version

Incorpadia.com is a free resource for entrepreneurs. We earn money through affiliate commissions when you click our links and purchase a service. This never influences our rankings or reviews. We only recommend services we have independently tested and genuinely believe in.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a standard business arrangement used by thousands of trusted review and comparison sites. Here's exactly how it works on Incorpadia:

01

You visit Incorpadia

You discover our content through a search, referral, or direct visit while researching LLC formation services.

02

You click a link

You click one of our recommended service links. A unique tracking tag is embedded so the provider knows you came from us.

03

You purchase a plan

If you choose to buy, the LLC formation provider pays us a referral commission — at zero additional cost to you.

04

We stay independent

Our rankings and editorial opinions are determined entirely by our testing process — never by commission size.

Affiliate Money Never Buys Rankings

We've built strict editorial guardrails to ensure our recommendations stay honest — regardless of who pays a higher commission.

We test every service

Our team forms real LLCs using each service before writing any review. No exceptions.

Rankings are performance-based

Services are scored on price transparency, speed, support, UX, and renewal value — not affiliate rate.

No paid placements

Providers cannot pay to appear higher in our rankings or receive positive coverage. Period.

Negative reviews stay up

If a service underperforms, we say so — even if they're an affiliate partner. Our readers come first.

We update pricing monthly

All pricing and plan details are reviewed every 30 days to ensure accuracy for our readers.

Free is free

We don't charge users, sell email lists, or lock reviews behind paywalls. Our content is always free.

⚖️ FTC Compliance

FTC Endorsement Guidelines

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), Incorpadia.com discloses all material connections with brands and services featured on this website.

Specifically, when we link to a service using an affiliate or referral link, we may receive compensation if you make a purchase after clicking. This is a "material connection" as defined by the FTC, and we are required to — and do — disclose it clearly.

Our disclosure banner appears at the top of every page on this site and reads: "We may earn commissions if you shop through the links on this page."

If you have any questions about how we handle affiliate disclosures, please contact us directly.

Affiliate Links Never Cost You More

When you click our affiliate links, you pay exactly the same price as if you went directly to the provider's website. In some cases, we negotiate exclusive discounts that make our links cheaper than going direct. Our commission is paid by the provider — not added to your purchase.

Have a Question About Our Disclosures?

We're transparent by design. If anything on this page is unclear or you'd like more detail about a specific affiliate relationship, reach out — we'll respond within 24 hours.
