Best Oregon LLC Services In 2025

Features

The flexible nature of ZenBusiness’ pricing structure means businesses can pick and choose the features they need, albeit at fairly high add-on prices for the lower-tier plans. Its Starter plan offers filing in five to seven business days as well as one free year of “worry-free compliance,” while all other LLC features are available at varying prices, allowing businesses to build their own tailored bundle.

Upgrading to the Pro plan includes compliance features and an operating agreement, expedited filing and an employer identification number (EIN). The Premium plan gives you access to the full set of LLC services in one inclusive price. You’ll be able to create business documents, a business website, a domain name and a business email address.

While it offers a full array of business features, it does lack on the legal side, so those looking for more attorney-based services might prefer other providers.

Pricing

Along with a few other providers on our list, ZenBusiness offers free standard LLC filing, so you only need to pay the Oregon state fee of $100. While you can benefit from the flexibility offered by ZenBusiness’ add-on structure on the lower tiers, these can be expensive.

After your first year of worry-free compliance, it resumes at $199 a year. You’ll also need to pay $99 each for an operating agreement and an EIN and $79 for faster filing. For businesses that want each of these services, it will make more sense to start with the Pro plan, which includes them all for $299 a year, including the state filing fee.

Customer Service

ZenBusiness’ customer service team is available every day of the week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. CT, Monday to Friday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. CT on weekends. You can access support by phone and live chat as well as email, ideal for getting a quick response when you need it. Online reviews of its customer service are largely positive too.

Reputation

With an Excellent score of 4.8 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 16,000 reviews at the time of writing, ZenBusiness is very popular with its customers. Many of the verified online reviews cite excellent customer service, although there is some mixed feedback on pricing.

Features

Along with most other LLC services, Swyft Filings offers different plans with varying features. Standard features, such as a business name check and filing the articles of organization with the Oregon Secretary of State come standard with all the plans.

More advanced features are also available through the upper-tier plans. A few of these include an EIN for your business, a banking resolution, electronic delivery of your documents, customizable business and legal documents, and expedited processing. Notably, Swyft Filings’ Premium product promises to get your documents filed on the same day you complete them, so long as they’re ready to go by 3 p.m. CT.

Pricing

Swyft Filings’ Basic plan is free (plus the $100 Oregon filing fee). As its name suggests, it provides the basic services needed to form an LLC, including preparation of the articles of organization for your business, filing the necessary paperwork with the state, and a business name check. Phone and email lifetime support are also included with this plan.

Small business owners who need more than this can take a look at the Standard and Premium plans, which cost $199 and $299, respectively, plus the $100 Oregon filing fee. The Standard plan includes all the features from the Basic plan, plus an EIN, a beneficial ownership information (BOI) report, an operating agreement, a banking resolution, electronic document delivery and organizational minutes. This plan also includes five-day express filing and expedited shipping.

The Premium plan offers the most features: same-day filing, access to customizable business and legal documents, a domain and website free for one year, three months of a free virtual address, and a digital LLC kit to further aid with compliance.

While the Standard and Premium plans offer many features, it is important to note that none of Swyft Filings’ plans include registered agent services (or even one free year of services). The company charges $149 per quarter for these services, which works out to $596 per year—notably higher than what most other LLC services charge.

Customer Service

Swyft Filings customers can reach out for support Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. CT. Agents are available by phone, email or live chat during these hours. However, you may not receive an immediate reply, depending on availability. When you click on the live chat button on the website, it says, “We typically reply within an hour.”

Reputation

Swyft Filings was founded in 2015. However, while it has not been around for as many years as some of the other LLC services on this list, the company has built a solid reputation with customers. Nearly 7,000 reviewers on Trustpilot have given Swyft Filings an average rating of 4.7 stars, and its Google rating is only slightly lower at 4.3 stars with nearly 900 reviews.

Features

Northwest Registered Agent only offers one LLC formation plan. In addition to filing your paperwork with the Oregon Secretary of State, this plan includes a free year of registered agent services, an operating agreement, a domain, website, business phone number, business email address and a Privacy by Default guarantee to protect your personal information.

Nevada LLCs looking to expand into other states require a foreign qualification, which in this context refers to a “foreign” state rather than another country. Northwest Registered Agent’s foreign qualification service facilitates the process by handling the added state-specific paperwork for registering your business in the state. This lets you avoid having to register as an LLC in the second (or third or fourth) state.

Pricing

Northwest Registered Agent’s plan is affordably priced at $39 (plus the $100 Oregon filing fee), especially considering all it includes. After the first free year of registered agent services, the price increases to $125 per year.

While no legal services are included with any of Northwest Registered Agent’s plans, as they are with some other providers, you do have the option to add on legal services for $99 per hour, as needed. For more basic legal questions, there is also an option to sign up for Law on Call for $9 per month.

Customer Service

Phone support is reachable from 6:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday, and live chat support is available from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. PT, Monday through Friday. We tried accessing the live chat feature around 2 p.m. ET on a Friday but found a message saying that live chat was not currently available due to it being after business hours or because all available agents were assisting other customers. About 30 minutes later, chat was available.

During our chat conversation, the agent informed us that the phone lines have been very busy recently, making it sound like live chat may be a better way to get support when needed.

Reputation

Founded in 1998, Northwest Registered Agent has been around for longer than many other LLC services. However, despite its long tenure, the company does not have as many customer reviews as other services with a more limited operating period. Customer reviews on Google are overall positive, with the company earning an average rating of 4.7 stars with over 1,000 reviews.

Those on Trustpilot, on the other hand, are not as glowing. Here, Northwest Registered Agent has an average rating from nearly 100 reviews. The one-star ratings from almost 40% of reviewers on Trustpilot—citing issues with customer service, billing and questionable business practices—seem to have pulled the rating down quite a bit.

Features

BetterLegal offers only one LLC formation package. Overall, it’s pretty comprehensive. In addition to the business filing, you get an operating agreement, EIN and a banking resolution (this identifies who is permitted to access company bank accounts). A free business website or online store is also included. And BetterLegal’s compliance service handles all the paperwork required to maintain your company’s good standing with the state.

One nice extra we didn’t see commonly advertised elsewhere is the tax analysis feature. With your LLC formation package, you’re entitled to a business tax analysis with a virtual tax service. Since an LLC can be taxed as either a pass-through entity (profits and losses “pass through” the company and are declared on the business owner’s personal income tax forms) or a corporation, this tax advice may be useful.

While there are benefits, note that you’ll have to pay extra for registered agent services ($10 per month or $90 per year) with this provider. Given the already high price, that’s not ideal.

Pricing

When it comes to pricing, BetterLegal stands out from the crowd—in a negative way. Instead of offering different tiers of pricing, like most competitors, this provider just has one LLC formation package, coming in at a steep $299, plus the $100. While it’s pretty robust, the lack of cheaper plan options may scare off some thrifty entrepreneurs.

The company’s terms and conditions state that any purchases made through its website are final and will not be refunded.

Customer Service

BetterLegal’s customer service is available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. ET. You can contact the support team by phone, live chat or online form. There is also an online help page with articles on everything from hiring to choosing a business model.

Reputation

BetterLegal’s Trustpilot reviews are minimal, at less than 500. However, they are overall fairly positive, averaging more than 4.5 stars. Customers praise the service’s simplicity and efficiency. BetterLegal is also BBB accredited.

Features

Inc Authority offers plenty of business services in its free LLC formation package, including a business name check, articles of organization preparation and filing, S-corp tax election filing, digital document storage, tax consultation and business credit and funding analysis. It also includes its registered agent service free for one year. Overall, it’s a comprehensive offering for a free plan.

However, many of its extra services, such as tax preparation, trademarking, trust planning and business plans, are all paid extras that involve plenty of upselling and an unclear pricing structure.

Pricing

There is very little pricing transparency with Inc Authority, as you’ll need to call them to order any services besides its free LLC formation. However, the free LLC offer does have plenty going for it, and the 24-hour internal processing time makes it an attractive option.

If you’re looking for a more powerful business management tool, you might be put off by the lack of information provided on its website and the absence of other services, such as legal or financial tools. Overall, Inc Authority falls a little behind some of the other providers.

Customer Service

Inc Authority offers customer support through phone and email as well as an online contact form. Its business hours are from Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. PT. There’s no chat support or weekend support, but its hours of availability are fairly standard. Online reviews of its support team are particularly positive.

Reputation

Inc Authority is one of the highest-rated providers on our list when it comes to public reviews, boasting an Excellent score on Trustpilot from over 35,000 reviews. There is plenty of good feedback for its customer support as well as how easy it is to use the service.
