Our take
Many aspiring entrepreneurs have ideas for starting a business, but getting an idea off the ground can be difficult without the right expertise. Bureaucracy and filing prevent many people from starting their business to begin with; while compliance, banking and accounting present further challenges for the business to grow past its initial creation.
ZenBusiness provides an all-in-one business product and service platform, helping entrepreneurs to create an LLC by handling filing options, business registration, and the creation of EINs. Once a business is created, the company supports it by taking care of compliance, business banking, taxes, accounting and domain name registration - helping clients grow their businesses with ease.
Whilst business creation and growth services are nothing new, such solutions are usually fragmented, resulting in entrepreneurs juggling an overwhelming number of services. By providing an all-in-one platform, ZenBusiness aims to eliminate this problem, a worthwhile undertaking which has seen the company rise to a $1.7 billion valuation in five years.
