Incredible Customer Service — They Actually Care

Every time I’ve had a question, their team has gotten back to me incredibly fast — usually within an hour, and never more than a day. Their attentiveness and customer support are outstanding! I’m still in the early stages of setting up my first C-Corp, and they’ve taken the time to explain everything in simple, easy-to-understand terms — no confusing legal jargon at all.

Scam: charging me $149 for agent 18 months post cancellation

Firstbase.io seems like a good idea at first but they keep charging even after you close your business and move on on your credit card. You can't remove your credit card on file or reach out anyone in support.

Firstbase experience

Firstbase made the LLC formation process smooth and stress-free. Their platform is very intuitive and the team is supportive at every step. I would definitely recommend Firstbase to other founders who want to establish their company in the US.

Great service

Excellent service, just about everything is automated for you, you just need to fill out some forms & data.

Pricing is fair & competitive compared to other similar services.

Customer assistance is great, both times I needed help they got back to me in less than 5 minutes.

Improvement suggestions:
- bring back different agent tiers (agent light, autopilot, etc)

Their platform is user-friendly

Their platform is user-friendly, and the whole process—from incorporation to getting essential documents—was handled with clear guidance and efficiency. I especially appreciate how they provide ongoing support after formation, such as help with mail handling, compliance reminders, and access to useful partner tools.

'Autopilot' Subscription is not so Auto

I subscribed to "autopilot", USD$299/year. They are supposed keep on top of filings. I learned that my filing was late. So I asked them what is going on? They send me an invoice for USD$740 with no itemisation. And filings for domestic corporations for the state of Delaware is USD$50 and the franchise tax min. is USD$175. Still trying to review. But buyer beware. They are not very transparent. Try finding some other options.

The most convenient way to incorporate an LLC❗️

Firstbase made setting up my LLC way easier than I expected. Everything’s laid out step by step, super clear, and done fast. No stress, no second guessing.

What I liked most is how convenient it is, they keep your docs in one place, handle the details you don’t wanna deal with, and you can track everything right on their dashboard. That alone saves so much time.

Support was solid too. Anytime I had a question, I got a quick, helpful response. Real people, real answers. Makes you feel like you’re not doing this alone.

At the end of the day, LLC’s done, process was easy, and I’m set up right. Definitely recommend if you want the paperwork handled without headaches.

Outstanding Service – Highly Recommend!

Firstbase has exceeded all my expectations. The entire process was smooth, professional, and incredibly efficient. Everything was handled with precision and care, and the result is a service that works flawlessly. Their team clearly knows what they’re doing, and it shows in the quality of their work. I truly appreciate how seamless and stress-free the experience was from start to finish. I’m very satisfied and would gladly recommend Firstbase to anyone looking for a reliable and professional solution.

Smooth

My experience with Firstbase was super smooth. I like their service and support team. My only feedback would be to let the customer know about hiring their agent and not an outside agent before starting the application. Otherwise, it was perfect.

Made Starting My Company from Overseas Super Easy!

FirstBase.io totally exceeded my expectations. I was incorporating a U.S. company from overseas and thought it would be a hassle — but nope. The whole process was smooth, fast, and super straightforward.

What really blew me away was the customer support. I had a small issue, reached out, and they were on it immediately. Not just helpful — above and beyond helpful. Seriously, some of the best support I’ve experienced.

Everything was done in just a couple of days, and I had all the documents and setup I needed. If you’re starting a business from outside the U.S., these are the people you want to work with.

Highly recommend!

Good service, but past communication experience affected my choice

I previously used Firstbase for a company I co-founded and generally found the platform to be good. At that time, I asked a professional question regarding share transfers, but the initial reply I received was very short and firm: ‘We don’t do any shares transfers etc. I told Alex that !’

When I politely pointed out that I found the response somewhat aggressive, the reply I got was: ‘Best to you brother.’

While I understand this reflects their policies, the tone felt a bit cold and personal. I now need Firstbase’s services for a new company, and I know the platform is technically solid, but because of this past interaction, I am exploring other options as well.

All over all satisfied and will open more with them

The interface is user friendly and the process is easy, however few points to improve on:
1. More clarity about 2nd-3rd step additional payments that are hiding and showing up only after you start the process and pay the initial fee. Will be useful to show in advance what other payments are waiting, allowing the user to chose in advance what route to pick.
2. The level of documents provided at the end of the process is a bit basic, could have been more comprehensive and better presented as PDF's already signed with the relevant name (Stripe Atlas are better on this one).
3. Need to have more clarity about the local address (maybe they should add it as a virtual service like others) and about the agent.

Pros:
1. Support is fantastic, very rapid and efficient
2. Process is easy
3. Plenty of add ons, even though payable in some cases
