How We Make Money

Full transparency on how this site is funded

Persuasion Nation is free to use because we earn a commission when readers use certain links on this site — most commonly our link to Northwest Registered Agent. This does not cost you anything extra, and in most cases it unlocks a discount you wouldn’t get by going directly to the provider.

What this means for our rankings

Our recommendations are based on our testing process, not on which company pays the highest commission. We’ve turned down or ranked poorly services that pay well but perform badly at checkout — LegalZoom is one example, flagged directly in our reviews despite being a potential affiliate partner.

Our direct services

We also offer paid consultation and EIN filing services directly (see our Services page). These are separate from our affiliate relationships and clearly labeled as paid services when mentioned in articles.
