Waking up to a wet and musky one on this first Thursday of 2013

Both of them will provide registered agent services. Legal Zoom is a little less expensive at $159/yr compared to around $240/yr for The Company Corporation (incorporate.com). As long as you're willing to put in the time to learn about the differences between and what's required for each type of business entity, the do-it-yourself route is a good way to go.

The first decision is whether you want to go with a corporation (S- or C-type) or a Limited Liability Company (LLC), or a Limited (Liability) Partnership. Both of those sites have pages explaining the basic differences. Then of course you want to be sure you want to have the business registered in Delaware, since Nevada and Wyoming offer similarly 'friendly' environments to operate a business.

If you don't want to spend the time to learn all about your choices and the requirements of running each of those options, you may want to get an attorney experienced with these things involved, at least to get advice on which type of entity is best for your specific needs. But if it's a relatively simple business, you can do most or all of it yourself.
