Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose Startifyz over Firstbase?

Startifyz supports six jurisdictions — USA, UK, Canada, Germany, UAE, and Singapore — while Firstbase focuses primarily on the US with partial UK coverage. If you need flexibility to form in Germany, UAE, Canada, or Singapore, Startifyz is a stronger fit.

How does Firstbase pricing compare to Startifyz?

Firstbase typically charges a one-time formation fee (around $399 at publication) plus recurring fees for registered agent and compliance. Startifyz uses subscription pricing from $299/mo (Starter) to $699/mo (Premium), with 20% off annual billing. The Pro plan at $399/mo bundles formation, registered agent, ongoing compliance, EIN support, and banking assistance. Verify current Firstbase pricing on their website.

Can Firstbase form companies outside the US?

Firstbase has expanded into limited UK coverage, but its primary focus remains US LLC and C-Corp formation. For Canada, Germany, UAE, or Singapore, you would need a separate provider. Startifyz handles all six jurisdictions in one dashboard.

Can I migrate my company from Firstbase to Startifyz?

Yes. If you already have a company formed through Firstbase, you can transfer the registered agent and ongoing compliance to Startifyz without re-incorporating. Our onboarding team handles the transition filings.

Which has better banking integrations?

Both providers partner with Mercury. Startifyz additionally coordinates introductions with Wise, Payoneer, Relay, and jurisdiction-specific digital banks (Penta/Qonto in Germany, Wio in UAE, Aspire in Singapore). Firstbase's banking network is narrower.
