It sounded right until $500 part... llc setup cost is $50, bank accounts, stripe accounts are all free, same goes for any “credits” from aws and elsewhere.
I understand the desire to turn a profit on this, but that’s kind of overboard, IMO.
- gk1 8y agoIt's roughly in line (albeit on the high end) with what RocketLawyer and other do-it-yourself companies charge. Yes they are all more expensive than truly doing it yourself (as in, printing forms from the local gov site and mailing them), but you're paying for convenience and the increased likelihood of getting the paperwork done right.
- redindian75 8y agoagreed... Was happy to see a standardized LLC product from Stripe till I saw it costs a whopping $500!
- icelancer 8y ago>> bank accounts, stripe accounts are all free, same goes for any “credits” from aws and elsewhere Free only if you don't value your time, I suppose. And you left out the support part from Stripe Atlas and their community, which could easily be worth many multiples of $500.
- SneakerXZ 8y agoIt includes a bank account that is huge money and time saving for people outside of US. If you do it elsewhere you will have to fly to the US and open the account yourself.
- classics2 8y agoIt’s unlikely you work for free and neither do the employees and lawyers at Stripe.
- zawerf 8y agoI don't know why you put "credits" in quotes so I went to look it up. They give you $5000! Unless there's some catch this actually makes atlas free and maybe even profitable to do since I am already paying AWS for running servers already. (Unless you're saying there are easier ways to get those free credits? Where else would you find them? Startup accelerators?)
