Agent Intro — Automate ongoing state compliance, free of charge
Monitor compliance, file reports, and register for payroll — all in one platform
A year and a half ago, we launched Firstbase Agent — our all-in-one state compliance solution for startups. You appoint Firstbase as your registered agent in every state where you operate or have employees, and we receive and view notices from the government, give you reminders about compliance events, and monitor your compliance status in each state, file annual reports, BOI reports, and franchise taxes. We will also help you register and maintain your payroll accounts in any state where you want to hire any employee — this way, you can avoid paying extremely high EOR fees (often around ~$700/employee/month) and instead hire an employee through your own entity. And, of course, we help you fulfill the legal obligation of having a registered agent in every state where you operate.
One huge difference between us and other state compliance providers is that we actually own and operate our own entities in all 50 states as a licensed commercial registered agent. So we have direct contact with the state and don’t have to rely on any third parties for anything.
Why it’s important: to give an example, if you hire an employee in a new state and need payroll accounts, your payroll tax registration partner will typically work with a network of registered agents in different states and won’t really have control over anything. They’ll often need that third party to sign off on forms, which slows things down and often leads to operational nightmares.
Now, almost 15,000 companies are using Firstbase Agent, and we have decided to do something nice and give part of the functionality free of charge.
Meet Firstbase Agent Intro — the simplest way to manage state compliance. We’d love to get your feedback. And again, it’s free.
Agent Intro is designed for founders who currently manage their business compliance outside of the Firstbase platform, and use a different commercial registered agent. Agent Intro includes three awesome features:
- 📁 Initial beneficial ownership information (BOI) filing: The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network requires all companies to file this on an ongoing basis, and we’ll take care of it for you!
- 2. 🚥 Firstbase command center: Get an instant overview of your compliance status in every state where your business operates.
- 3. ✅ State compliance reminders: We’ll track your deadlines and let you know about any required actions.
No more scrolling through different state websites to find due dates — we make it easy to track everything in one place.
We’ll be launching Agent Intro soon, and we would love to see you among its first users! Just visit the link below and join the waitlist to guarantee your spot.
Much love ❤️
