Life at ZenBusiness Inc.

ZenBusiness is a trusted partner for business owners who want a solution to the challenges of starting, running, and growing a business. We use technology and automation to provide fast and low-cost services, expert support, and a personalized dashboard that puts everything you need at your fingertips. By making business formation easy and affordable, we hope to foster a small business community where those business owners can connect on a local and national level and help each other grow. We became a Public Benefit Corporation because we want to give back and revolutionize the process of forming a business so that more people can realize their dreams and boost our economy in the process. One way we do that is via our ᅢᄁ¬ツᆲᅤモPay-It-Forwardᅢᄁ¬ツᆲᅡン project with Kiva.org, a nonprofit that connects people through lending to alleviate poverty. We randomly select women-owned and minority-owned businesses in the US to loan money to each year, helping more aspiring business owners manifest their dreams and welcoming them into our business community. Of course, a business is made of more than its owners, and happy employees lead to happy customers. Thatᅢᄁ¬ツᆲ¬トᄁs why we invest in our employees by providing them with health insurance, competitive salaries, equity, and the opportunity to tackle interesting challenges that have a positive impact. Many Americans dream of starting their own business but are reluctant to do so because of the daunting red tape and confusion. Keeping up with local, state, and federal regulations along with other obligations might force you to ask, ᅢᄁ¬ツᆲᅤモWhere do I even start?ᅢᄁ¬ツᆲᅡン That is why weᅢᄁ¬ツᆲ¬トᄁre here. Our goal is to make the dream of starting a new business accessible to everyone across the country by offering low cost formation, discounted business services, and expert support.
