Welcome to Business Starter Hub. These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the businessstarterhub.com website and any content published on it (collectively, the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Site.
"Business Starter Hub," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the publishers and editors of businessstarterhub.com. The Site is an independent editorial publication that reviews and explains US business formation topics — primarily LLC formation, registered agent services, and related compliance subjects.
Everything published on this Site is for general informational and educational purposes. We are not a law firm, accounting firm, tax preparer, or financial advisor, and nothing on this Site creates an attorney–client, accountant–client, or fiduciary relationship.
Business formation, tax elections, and ongoing compliance depend on facts specific to your situation and the jurisdiction you operate in. Before acting on anything you read here, consult a licensed professional in your state.
You must be at least 16 years old to use the Site. By using it, you represent that you meet this requirement and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms in the jurisdiction where you live.
You agree not to:
All content on the Site — including articles, guides, comparison tables, graphics, logos, and the underlying design — is owned by Business Starter Hub or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
You may read, share short excerpts with attribution and a link back, and reference the Site in personal or non-commercial settings. You may not republish full articles, mirror the Site, or use our content to train any AI or machine-learning system without prior written permission.
The Site links to third-party websites and services, including formation companies, registered agents, accounting tools, and government resources. We do not control those third parties and are not responsible for their content, products, terms, privacy practices, or anything that happens after you leave our Site.
Some outbound links are affiliate links — meaning we may earn a commission if you sign up or purchase through them, at no additional cost to you. We disclose this relationship clearly and it does not influence our editorial recommendations. See our Privacy Policy for more on affiliate disclosures.
We work hard to keep guides accurate, sourced, and current — including monthly re-verification of state fees and rules. Despite that, laws change, government websites update without notice, and errors occasionally slip through.
We make no warranty that any content on the Site is complete, accurate, current, or fit for any particular purpose. If you find something wrong, please contact us and we'll review it.
The Site is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, or that defects will be corrected.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Business Starter Hub and its editors, contributors, and operators will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or business opportunities, arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site or any content on it — whether based on contract, tort (including negligence), or any other legal theory, and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where liability cannot be excluded by law, our total cumulative liability is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you paid us in the past twelve months (typically zero, since the Site is free to use), or (b) USD 50.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Business Starter Hub and its editors, contributors, and operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these Terms.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, you consent to receiving periodic emails from us. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email. We will not sell or rent your email address — see our Privacy Policy.
We may update, modify, or discontinue parts of the Site at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time; when we do, we'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site after a revision means you accept the updated Terms.
We may suspend or restrict your access to the Site at any time if we reasonably believe you've violated these Terms or applicable law. The sections that, by their nature, should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law) will continue to apply.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Business Starter Hub is principally operated, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute relating to the Site or these Terms shall be brought exclusively in the courts of that jurisdiction, and you consent to that jurisdiction and venue.
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable while reflecting the original intent.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any other notices posted on the Site, make up the entire agreement between you and Business Starter Hub regarding your use of the Site.
