ZenBusiness is a new organization that seeks to facilitate personalized business formation by using technology and automated processes. This allows businesses of all sizes to access free or low-cost tools needed to start and grow a new company, including business filing service, employer identification number, and registered agent service.
ZenBusiness' success has not gone unnoticed and the company recently secured a new $15 million series A round with backers including Greycroft, Lerer Hippeau, and Rosecliff Venture Partners -- to name a few. The company states they hope "to partner with other providers who integrate into the ZenBusiness platform" to increase efficiency and accuracy, however, the primary focus is "on keeping the product very self-service and automated to allow it to focus on these smaller customers."
