Overview

Two Platforms Built for Different Buyers

CorpNet is a solid business formation and compliance service for entrepreneurs and small businesses, with a 100% satisfaction guarantee and strong support for individual entity filers.

FileForms is built for professional services firms managing compliance portfolios — where CorpNet’s per-entity, per-order model with 2–4 week turnarounds simply doesn’t scale.

Note on CorpNet pricing: CorpNet charges $99 + state fees + a required $18 shipping and handling fee per annual report. Standard processing takes 2–4 weeks. FileForms processes most filings in under 5 minutes.

Key Differentiators

Why Professional Services Firms Choose FileForms

Built from the ground up for the firms that manage compliance on behalf of clients — not for Fortune 500 legal departments or solo entrepreneurs.

Speed

Speed: Minutes vs. Weeks

FileForms processes most annual report filings in under 5 minutes with automated direct-to-state submission. CorpNet’s standard processing takes 2–4 weeks — critical when managing time-sensitive deadlines for dozens of clients.

Portfolio

Portfolio vs. Per-Order

CorpNet operates on a per-order basis — one filing at a time. FileForms gives you a centralized portfolio dashboard to manage all entities, track all deadlines, and submit all filings from a single workflow.

White-Label

White-Label Branding

FileForms offers full white-label capability for professional services firms. CorpNet has no white-label model.

API

API for Practice Integration

FileForms’ full REST API allows integration with practice management tools and CRM systems. CorpNet offers no API, requiring manual data entry for every filing.

The Verdict

CorpNet may be worth considering if you’re an individual business owner filing a single entity once a year, don’t need a portfolio dashboard, and are comfortable with 2–4 week processing times plus a required $18 shipping and handling fee on every filing.

FileForms is the right choice if you’re a professional services firm managing compliance portfolios for clients — with filings processed in under 5 minutes, onboarding in under 24 hours, bulk upload tools, embedded payments, white-label capability, and the ability to resell or refer at your own margin. No per-order S&H fees. No manual tracking. No waiting weeks to file.
