GenZone vs Bizee: Pricing and What's Included
Comparing the non-resident formation stack, side by side, on price, the registered agent, the EIN, tax filing, and ongoing service.
Bizee's $0 headline covers only the filing. Add the EIN, operating agreement, a real address, and the year-two agent renewal, and a non-resident's Standard-tier first year reaches about $518 before state fees, past GenZone's all-in $499. Form 5472 and hands-on banking still come from other providers. GenZone's Advanced plan folds them in at $999.
*Bizee's Standard package ($199, which bundles formation, the EIN add-on, the operating agreement, and one year of registered agent) includes one free month of Virtual Address; the remaining 11 months run $29 each, about $319, bringing a non-resident founder's realistic first-year total to roughly $518 before state fees. GenZone's Basic plan already includes all of that, plus a stated non-resident EIN turnaround, inside one $499 annual price. Bizee explains the non-SSN EIN process publicly, but its $70 EIN service page does not clearly state whether the same service is specifically handled as a non-resident application or provide a dedicated non-resident turnaround commitment. Founders without an SSN should confirm the exact process before ordering, which is where GenZone's Advanced plan at $999 comes in. Figures verified directly against bizee.com, September 2026.

500+ real reviews from GenZone clients across Trustpilot and Google.
It took them under two days to get two US LLCs up and running, with the paperwork submitted. Honestly I couldn't have started my business in the UAE and expanded this quickly. I'm still surprised how fast the CEO, Kevin, jumps in when needed, deep into the night. Clearly dedicated, and it shows.
Super fast, no headaches, amazing support. I opened my company in Dubai, got my UAE residency and ID, and opened two more companies in the US. I didn't have to worry about anything, they handled everything from start to finish. Every time I had a question, I got a reply in under five minutes.
I reached out to several companies to set up my US LLC, and the difference with GenZone was night and day. They set up my LLC in just one day, and I had my EIN and everything sorted within a week. Unbelievably quick. The whole team made what I expected to be a complicated process feel effortless.
We chose GenZone after seeing them on YouTube for Dubai setup. They handled our Dubai FZCO and our residency visas, and the whole process was streamlined and effortless. Communication is top notch, often answered within minutes. They then handled our US LLC too, again super easy. Recommend to anybody.
GenZone is everything they claim they are and more. They helped me start my US LLC in almost no time at all. They act fast and they deliver. Wonderful cooperation, pleased to have used their services.
GenZone made setting up my US LLC as a non-resident incredibly smooth. Albert and the team were super helpful throughout, and the LLC was formed quickly with all documents organized neatly. The EIN took a little longer than expected, but the team followed up and got it sorted. Would definitely recommend to other international entrepreneurs.

The Full Breakdown
Both GenZone and Bizee form US LLCs, but only one bundles the complete non-resident service package into a single price.
Bizee is a business formation and registered agent provider built around a low-cost model, with packages starting at $0 plus state fees, primarily serving US-based founders filing their first entity.
While non-residents can form an LLC through Bizee, several post-formation services, such as an EIN process for applicants without an SSN, Form 5472 and 1120 filing, and hands-on banking, are priced as general add-ons or not listed at all.
GenZone bundles the entire non-resident service stack into one flat annual price, so the published price includes the core services without the founder assembling them separately.
Bizee's pricing runs on three tiers: Basic at $0, Standard at $199, and Premium at $299, each plus the state's filing fee. Most other services are priced individually outside these tiers.
This model works well for a US-based founder who already has a Social Security Number and wants the cheapest possible way to file Articles of Organization.
For a non-resident, the same $0 headline does not address the two crucial pieces: an EIN process designed for applicants without an SSN, and the Form 5472 filing every foreign-owned LLC owes each year.
What $0 Actually Buys
Bizee's Basic package is free plus the state's filing fee, as confirmed on Bizee's own pricing page. It includes the Articles of Organization filing, unlimited name searches, a banking resolution template, one year of registered agent, and one month of Virtual Address.
It does not include an EIN or an operating agreement, both sold as separate add-ons at $70 and $99.
The $199 Standard package bundles the EIN add-on and the operating agreement, with lifetime compliance alerts and phone and email support. Registered agent, free year one on any tier, renews at $149 per year.
GenZone's Basic plan runs $499 per year rather than $0, but includes the registered agent, a business address with physical mail forwarding, and a stated non-resident EIN turnaround in that single price from day one.
An EIN Add-on, Not a Stated Non-Resident Process
Bizee sells EIN filing as a $70 standalone add-on, or bundled into the Standard and Premium packages. It publicly explains the EIN process for applicants without an SSN, including the fax and mail routes.
However, its public $70 EIN service page does not clearly state that the service is packaged as a non-resident EIN solution, or guarantee a particular non-resident processing timeline.
The IRS requires this route to be handled by fax, mail, or phone rather than the standard online application. A non-resident founder should confirm directly with Bizee whether the $70 add-on covers this route before relying on it.
GenZone's EIN service is built specifically for this case: the same non-resident EIN is issued in 3 to 5 business days, handled directly with the IRS on every plan, a stated turnaround rather than a general explanation.
The Filing That Never Appears on Bizee's Price List
Foreign-owned US disregarded entities may have an annual Form 5472 reporting obligation when they have reportable transactions with their foreign owner or related parties. When required, the form is attached to a pro forma Form 1120.
A Published Guide Is Not a Filing Service
The IRS can impose a $25,000 penalty for failure to file Form 5472 when required. A search across Bizee's formation packages, add-on catalog, and compliance pages turns up no dedicated service for this filing, and no price for one.
Bizee publishes educational content explaining the requirement, but explaining the obligation is not the same as filing it.
This leaves a non-resident who forms with Bizee sourcing Form 5472 compliance from a separate CPA or filing provider.
GenZone includes Form 1120 and 5472 from the Advanced plan at $999, handled by in-house CPAs, inside the same annual price that already covers the agent and the address.

Banking: An Offer, Not a Stated Setup Service
Bizee lists a business banking account offer on its Basic package and describes business banking setup on Premium. What that setup involves, a referral, document preparation, or something else, is not detailed on Bizee's service pages.
There is no indication it is designed for a founder without a US address or Social Security Number. GenZone's banking support, included from the Advanced plan, is more specific: documents prepared and applications supported across Wise, Mercury, and Slash.
GenZone is not just a US LLC provider. We build and run your full global structure, from companies to residency to banking.
- Dubai company setup and UAE residency for legal tax repositioning and a 0% position.
- Golden visa and long-term UAE residency for qualified high-net-worth founders and investors.
- UAE accounting and bookkeeping that keeps your Dubai company compliant and clean.
- Business banking across many countries, including the US, Dubai, Panama, Uruguay, Puerto Rico, Antigua and Barbuda, Liechtenstein, and the Bahamas, plus digital accounts with Wise, Mercury, Relay, Slash, Stripe, and more.
Pricing, Added Up Honestly
GenZone publishes three fixed annual tiers on its US LLC page: Basic at $499, Advanced at $999, and Done-For-You at $1,999.
State fees, the registered agent, the address, physical mail forwarding, and the non-resident EIN are included from Basic. Form 5472 and 1120 filing, plus active banking setup, are included with Advanced.
Bizee's services can cover formation, the registered agent, and an EIN add-on, but its public catalog does not clearly describe that EIN process as built for non-residents, and lists no dedicated Form 5472 and 1120 package.
A non-resident who needs these covered would confirm the EIN process directly and source the tax filing separately. GenZone's Advanced plan includes Form 1120 and 5472 from $999, alongside its banking support and a confirmed non-resident EIN turnaround.
Support: A Support Line, or a Person
Bizee offers phone and email support on Standard and Premium. Its public package information does not specify a dedicated named account manager.
GenZone pairs its own platform with a relationship manager on WhatsApp, assigned from the first message and reachable through formation, banking applications, and every renewal thereafter.
For a founder across time zones trying to confirm which of several separate pieces applies, that difference tends to matter more a year in than it does on day one.
Each Firm Serves a Different Founder
Choose GenZone if you...
- Want the EIN, the address, and Form 5472 filing in one price, with a stated non-resident process rather than a general add-on.
- Need banking support built around a founder without a US address.
- Want a named advisor on WhatsApp instead of a general support line.
- May want a US structure paired with Dubai residency and a UAE company later.
Bizee may fit if you...
- Are a US-based founder with a Social Security Number who wants the lowest possible formation fee.
- Don't need Form 5472 filing bundled with formation.
- Are comfortable managing compliance and a mailing address a la carte.
- Have no near-term interest in a Dubai or UAE structure.
Final Verdict
Bizee handles formation and the registered agent at a $0 to $299 headline price plus state fees, depending on the tier. What it is not is a confirmed non-resident solution: the EIN add-on does not state whether it covers the non-SSN route.
Form 5472 and hands-on banking sit outside its catalog entirely. A non-resident founder ends up confirming one piece and sourcing another from a separate provider, before reaching the scope GenZone's single annual plan already covers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bizee good for non-resident founders?
It handles formation and the registered agent at one of the lowest headline prices available. But its EIN add-on is not described as built for applicants without a Social Security Number, and there is no dedicated Form 5472 filing service. GenZone bundles both, plus banking, into one non-resident plan.
Is Bizee's $0 formation really free?
The formation filing itself is $0 plus the state's fee. The EIN and the operating agreement, both things most non-resident founders need, are separate $70 and $99 add-ons on the Basic tier, or bundled into the $199 Standard package. GenZone includes both in its $499 Basic plan.
Does Bizee's EIN service work for founders without a Social Security Number?
Bizee's pricing pages do not confirm this. Its educational content explains the general IRS process for non-citizens without describing it as a feature of its paid $70 EIN add-on, so confirm directly before relying on it. GenZone's non-resident EIN is issued in 3 to 5 business days, handled directly with the IRS.
Does Bizee file Form 5472 for foreign-owned LLCs?
There is no dedicated service for it anywhere on Bizee's site, across its formation packages, add-on catalog, and compliance pages. A non-resident using Bizee would source that filing from a separate CPA. GenZone includes Form 5472 and 1120 from its $999 Advanced plan, filed by in-house CPAs.
How much does Bizee really cost for a non-resident in the first year?
Roughly $518 before state fees: $199 for the Standard package (formation, the EIN add-on, the operating agreement, and registered agent year one), plus about $319 for 11 months of Virtual Address after the free first month. That excludes Form 5472, typically $300 to $600 through a separate provider. GenZone's Basic is $499 all-in.
Does Bizee help open a US bank account?
Bizee mentions a business banking offer on its packages, without detailing what the process involves or whether it fits a founder with no US address. GenZone is more specific: documents are prepared and matched to the bank most likely to approve a given founder's profile across Wise, Mercury, and Slash.
Is Bizee cheaper than GenZone?
For formation alone, yes, by a wide margin, especially on the $0 Basic tier plus state fee. But once a functional non-resident setup, the EIN, an address, and Form 5472, are all accounted for, the gap narrows, and the pieces come from separate, uncoordinated providers rather than one plan.
Can I switch to GenZone after forming with Bizee?
Yes. An LLC already formed with Bizee can move its ongoing compliance, registered agent, banking support, and Form 5472 filing to GenZone without reincorporating, consolidating several separate providers into a single annual plan.
Is GenZone a better alternative to Bizee?
For a non-resident who wants the EIN, the address, Form 5472 filing, and banking included in one annual price, with each piece confirmed to work without a Social Security Number, yes. A US-based founder with an SSN who mainly wants the lowest possible formation fee may find Bizee's model fits better.
