✓ Banking, bookkeeping, and Velo AI all in one platform
✓ Significantly lower total cost for a business owner who needs formation + website

Choose ZenBusiness if you are...

→ First-time business owners who need a professional web presence alongside formation and compliance
→ Non-technical entrepreneurs who want one platform for everything
→ Anyone who wants to form an LLC and get a website live in the same workflow

Pricing Comparison

ZenBusiness Pricing

ZenBusiness includes a website builder as part of its formation plans, so there is no separate website subscription.

Webflow Pricing

Webflow starts at approximately $14/month for a basic site plan, with higher tiers for CMS and e-commerce. This does not include any business formation or compliance services.

💡 If you need both an LLC and a website, ZenBusiness bundles both into one plan — saving you a separate monthly website subscription.

Can I Use Both?

🤝

Yes. If you outgrow the ZenBusiness website builder and need advanced design capabilities, you can use Webflow for your website while keeping ZenBusiness for formation, compliance, banking, and bookkeeping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does ZenBusiness replace Webflow?

For most new small business owners who need a professional business website, yes. ZenBusiness includes a website builder with clean templates designed for non-technical users. However, if you need advanced design capabilities, animations, or a powerful CMS, Webflow is the better choice for the website itself.

Can I use ZenBusiness and Webflow together?

Yes. You can use ZenBusiness for LLC formation, compliance, banking, and bookkeeping while building your website on Webflow. This is a good option if you need more design control than the ZenBusiness website builder provides.

Does ZenBusiness offer advanced website design tools?

ZenBusiness includes a website builder with professional templates designed for simplicity. It is built for business owners who need a clean, professional web presence without design experience. For advanced design, animations, and custom code, Webflow is the stronger tool.

Does ZenBusiness include banking and bookkeeping?

Yes. ZenBusiness includes built-in business banking and a native bookkeeping and invoicing app as part of its platform — something no website builder offers.

What is Velo by ZenBusiness?

Velo is ZenBusiness's AI business assistant, trained on small business formation and operations data. It helps business owners navigate formation, compliance, and operations — all from within the ZenBusiness dashboard.
