Reseller Program FAQs
Q. How does the reseller program work?
A. After you are accepted into the program, we provide your company with a unique URL assigned to a reseller code, which allows us to track orders you place back to your company. It is very important that you use this URL when ordering products and services online. This URL triggers your discount in our order system and pre-populates contact fields within our online order forms, saving you valuable time.

Q. Will my clients know I used BizFilings?
A. Your clients may or may not know you used BizFilings. This is dependent on the product or service ordered, the state of service and the mail forwarding preferences established by the reseller.
Most states require the name and signature of the incorporator to be listed on the company’s formation documents. In those states, a member of our team will be listed as such on your clients’ formation documents.
If you choose to have BizFilings act as the registered agent for your clients, our company name and address will be listed as the registered agent on file with the state. For additional information on registered agent service, click here.
If you order our corporate or LLC kits from BizFilings, we have the ability to remove our logo and contact information from the inside cover of these kits. Please inform us that you wish to have this removed for your clients.
Our corporate and LLC forms CDs and compliance DVDs do include BizFilings’ identity and this identity cannot be removed.
Finally, if you create your reseller account with your client's address as the shipping address, shipments come directly from BizFilings and may include BizFilings branding. In most cases, resellers request their shipping address be used and remove any elements of BizFilings brand prior to forwarding the package to the end client.
If you provide your clients' mail forwarding addresses for registered agent purposes, shipments come directly from BizFilings to your clients.
