The real first-year cost

The cost to run an LLC, not just to start one.

Every founder needs formation, a registered agent, a business tax number, an operating agreement, ongoing compliance, bookkeeping and a federal tax return. Here is the full first-year cost on identical scope.

All in one place

StartGlobal

$399 to form

then $149/month fully managed, or a la carte from $99/year • one platform • everything included

  • LLC formation + state filing fee
  • Registered agent
  • business tax number
  • US business bank account setup
  • Operating agreement
  • Annual report & compliance
  • Bookkeeping
  • Federal tax filing

Yondaa

$7,699/yr

2 separate services to manage

  • Formation, RA, business tax number & OA (Basic, state fee included) $899
  • Bookkeeping (from $500/month) $6,000
  • Federal tax filing (5472 + 1120), via 3rd party (est.) $800

Yondaa only handles part of it.

To actually run your LLC you would stitch together 2 separate services: Yondaa for formation, a separate bookkeeper, and a separate tax preparer. That is 2 logins, 2 bills, and 2 support teams to chase when something breaks. StartGlobal is all of it in one platform, one login, one bill, one team, for a one-time $399 to form, then a flat $149/month fully managed (or a la carte from $99/year).

First-year cost for a single-member, foreign-owned LLC in Wyoming, ~1,000 transactions / ~$100k revenue, with state fees included on both sides so the comparison is like for like. Where Yondaa does not offer bookkeeping or tax filing, we use third-party benchmarks (bookkeeping $2,400/yr, federal tax filing $800/yr) so the scope matches. Competitor pricing as of 2026-06 and may change.

The difference

Why founders switch to StartGlobal

Real concerns reported by Yondaa users, and how we fix them.

The problem

No Public Pricing

Yondaa does not show pricing on their website. You must create an account and go through their signup flow before learning what the service costs. This makes comparison shopping impossible.

With StartGlobal

StartGlobal displays full pricing on our website: $399 one-time to form, then $149/month fully managed or a la carte from $99/year. You know exactly what you pay before creating any account.

The problem

$50/Month Address Fee

Yondaa charges $50/month ($600/year) for a US business address. This recurring cost is separate from formation fees and adds significantly to the total cost of ownership.

With StartGlobal

StartGlobal does not charge monthly address fees. Our $399 one-time formation includes everything you need to get started.

The problem

Very Limited Public Reviews

Yondaa has no Trustpilot page and very limited public reviews anywhere. While they are a funded startup (confirmed on Crunchbase), customer feedback is nearly impossible to find.

With StartGlobal

StartGlobal has formed 5,000+ companies with a verifiable track record. Our reviews are public and accessible on multiple platforms.

The problem

Physical Corporate Kit Is Unnecessary

Yondaa ships a physical corporate kit with a leather binder and metal seal. While nice, these items are not legally required and add cost to the service without practical value for most businesses.

With StartGlobal

StartGlobal provides all essential documents digitally. Your operating agreement, articles of organization, and business tax number letter are accessible instantly through your dashboard.
