doola Total Compliance vs $99 Form 5472

doola's Total Compliance package is $1,997/year. Form 5472 + pro forma 1120 filing is the central compliance value. We charge $99/year for the same filing. Here is the honest math on what bundled compliance gets you and where the $1,898 difference goes.

Answer

doola Total Compliance at $1,997/year bundles registered agent ($100 value), Form 5472 + 1120 filing ($99-$500 value), compliance monitoring dashboard, dedicated account manager, and 24/7 support. Real compliance value: ~$200-$300/year. The remaining $1,700+ pays for premium service tier (account manager, phone support, brand). $WyomingLLC unbundles: $99/year for the Form 5472 filing, ~$100/year for registered agent, no account manager. For most founders, the unbundled path saves $1,500+/year.
