One platform
instead of ten vendors.
Building a real U.S. company means paying for, logging into, and reconciling across categories that have no business being separate. Prolify brings that work together: one platform, one login, one source of truth, one operating cadence.
Direct answer
Prolify centralizes the work founders usually buy from a formation service, a registered agent, an address provider, a bookkeeping platform, a tax preparation firm, and a compliance vendor, on one platform, with tax filings coordinated with licensed partners and every service labeled live, partner-led, or coming soon.
The stack you'd
otherwise build.
Here is what a typical founder actually assembles to run a U.S. company, with typical annual category costs, so you can check the math yourself.
| Category | Typical annual cost | What goes wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Formation service | $50–$500 one-time | Ends when the certificate arrives |
| Registered agent | $100–$300/yr | Renewal buried in an email you'll miss |
| Virtual U.S. address | $120–$600/yr | Bank rejects the PO-box variety |
| EIN assistance (no SSN) | $50–$300 one-time | Slow track, rejected applications |
| Bookkeeping | $1,200–$6,000/yr | Annual panic instead of a monthly cadence |
| Tax preparation | $500–$3,000/yr | Nobody asks the Form 5472 question |
| Compliance tracking | $100–$500/yr | Tracks one state, misses the second |
| Founder dashboard SaaS | $120–$1,200/yr | Doesn't know your entity exists |
| Coordination | Your time | You are the integration layer |
Every one of those vendors is optimizing its own slice. None of them owns the company's operating picture. You do, usually in a spreadsheet, at midnight, in a second language, twelve time zones from the state that's about to mark your entity delinquent.

What "centralize"
actually means.
We're not claiming to be every tool in every category. We're claiming to be one platform that brings the work together.
One login
For the entity, finance, compliance, and operations.
One source of truth
For documents, filings, deadlines, and financial numbers: the same records your bank, your investor, and the IRS will eventually ask about.
One operating cadence
Every month, every quarter, every year, instead of a folder of PDFs and a forgotten renewal email.
One vendor relationship
Instead of ten invoices, ten support inboxes, and ten passwords.
Why one source of truth matters
Fragmentation isn't an inconvenience. It's a failure mode. Diligence stalls because the operating agreement is in one portal and the EIN letter is in an inbox. A bank's annual review flags the entity because the address on file doesn't match the state record. A missed annual report quietly moves the company to "not in good standing" while three vendors each assume another was watching. When the records live in one place, these failure modes stop being possible.
Why founders outside the U.S. need this most
Every vendor in the standard stack assumes you have an SSN, a U.S. address, U.S. credit, and U.S. business hours. If you're building from Lagos, Mumbai, Manila, São Paulo, or Dubai, you're not just integrating ten vendors, you're integrating ten vendors that weren't built for you. Prolify's workflows assume the opposite by default. That's the founding reason the platform exists.
The trap in the cheaper path
The $49 filing site is not cheaper. It defers the cost. The generic operating agreement breaks in diligence. The EIN goes to the slow track. The Form 5472 question is never asked, and a missed required filing can trigger a $25,000 IRS penalty. The registered agent renewal lapses and the state administratively dissolves the entity. Reinstatement, back fees, catch-up bookkeeping, and back-year filings routinely cost more than years of doing it properly. Cheap formation is the most expensive product in this category.
The honest version
Some categories on this page are live today. Some are in active build with a waitlist. Some are partner-led and available by request. We tell you which is which before you sign up, and again on the page of every service we're not yet selling. We're not trying to replace your law firm, your CPA, or your fractional executive. We're trying to replace the coordination: the work of stitching ten vendors together so the company actually runs.
What we are not.
We are not a law firm.
Where licensed counsel is required, we refer to qualified counsel.
We are not a CPA firm.
Tax filings are coordinated with licensed tax partners.
We do not guarantee bank approval.
No third party can. We help prepare and route the application to the bank most likely to fit your country and business.
We do not promise IRS timing.
Higher-tier plans get priority handling by the Prolify team; IRS timing can still vary.
Disclosure: Prolify centralizes work founders typically buy from multiple categories of vendors. We are not a one-for-one replacement of any specific tool, and we are not claiming feature parity with category leaders in every dimension. For founders with mature, specialized needs in a single category, specialist tools may still be the right fit.
