LLC formation markups + post-filing junk mail
Pain point
Registered agent/EIN/"compliance tracking" sold at huge markups; *"compliance tracking is basically a Google Calendar alert with a $200 price tag."* Forming an LLC also floods your home address with credit offers.
Signal
Weak-moderate (9 upvotes, low engagement) but the complaint is unusually specific and names a replaceable incumbent category (LegalZoom/ZenBusiness/Northwest).
Opportunity
(a) Free/$5 compliance calendar — annual report + franchise tax deadlines by state, email/SMS reminders; cheap lead magnet into a low-cost registered agent. (b) Bigger niche: privacy-first formation — registered agent address + opt-out-of-prescreen automation so your home address never hits the mailing lists. Quick to build; the state-deadline dataset is the moat.
