Introduction to Taylor Brands
In this video, we'll be reviewing Taylor Brands, an LLC service provider. Previously, my review of Taylor Brands was quite critical due to their pricing strategies. However, some changes have been made, prompting me to purchase an LLC through Taylor Brands and share my updated experience.
Dashboard Overview
What you're seeing on the screen is the Taylor Brands dashboard for an LLC I created called "Costanza Wallet." The dashboard is quite comprehensive, offering various features like domain management, bookkeeping, website creation, and digital business cards. Taylor Brands aims to be a one-stop shop for all business needs, including AI-powered logo makers and website design tools.
BOI Filing
A notable new feature is the BOI (Beneficial Ownership Information) filing. This is a mandatory filing for LLCs in the United States, required 90 days after formation if you file in 2024. Taylor Brands can handle this for an additional fee, but it's also something you can do yourself via FinCEN.com, taking roughly five minutes to complete.
Customer Support and Performance
To evaluate customer support, I purposely made an error in my LLC name. Taylor Brands took over four hours to respond but impressed me by offering to refund the $50 state fee after I corrected the mistake. This level of support earned them an A grade in my review.
However, Taylor Brands' turnaround time for filing was disappointing, taking 19 days, 2 hours, and 2 minutes. In comparison, other services like LegalZoom completed filings in under 2 hours. This delay significantly impacted their overall rating.
Email Communication and Upsells
Over 43 days, Taylor Brands sent 15 follow-up emails, which is average among LLC services. By contrast, another service sent 26 emails in the same period.
Cost Analysis
Our LLC cost calculator, accessible via a QR code on the screen or through the link in the description, reveals that Taylor Brands is $1,199 more expensive over five years compared to the cheapest service. Despite reducing some fees since my last review, their registered agent and renewal fees remain high.
Affiliate Links and Charity Partnership
Using our affiliate links supports a charity called Crisis Services of West New York. For each LLC set up through our links, we donate $20 to this charity, which provides crucial support to individuals in crisis. So far, we've donated over $26,000 this year, thanks to your support.
Final Grade
Taylor Brands received a C grade due to excellent customer service but poor turnaround time and high costs. For a detailed comparison of all services reviewed, check the description below.
