Last updated: 2026-03-27

How We Earn Revenue

StartupCostHub is a free resource. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships with business service providers. When you click on certain links on our site and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our current affiliate partners include:

  1. ZenBusiness — LLC formation and registered agent services

We may add additional affiliate partnerships over time. This page will be updated to reflect any new relationships.

Our Editorial Independence

Affiliate relationships do not influence our cost data, rankings, or recommendations. Our startup cost figures are compiled from official state sources, industry reports, and insurance databases, independent of any commercial relationship.

We follow these principles:

  1. Cost data is sourced from official state filing offices and verified third-party databases
  2. We never inflate or deflate cost estimates to drive affiliate conversions
  3. Affiliate links are clearly contextual and placed near relevant cost information
  4. We recommend services we believe are genuinely useful, not just those that pay commissions

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to transparency about our affiliate relationships.
