What Globalfy does

Globalfy is a private Florida-based SaaS and professional services company that helps international and non-resident entrepreneurs form and operate U.S. businesses remotely. Founded in 2015 by Diego Sampaio and headquartered in Orlando, the company sells tiered annual subscription plans ranging from $588 (Starter) to $5,028 (Scale), with custom Enterprise pricing for higher-complexity engagements. Its platform consolidates LLC and Corporation formation in all 50 states, EIN acquisition, registered agent service, a virtual U.S. address in Orlando, ongoing state renewals, federal and state tax preparation (covering Forms 5472, 1120, 1065, 1040NR, Schedule C, 1120-F, and 3115), and monthly bookkeeping into a single multilingual dashboard supporting English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

The underlying technology is a web-based SaaS platform accessed via app.globalfy.com and portal.globalfy.com that integrates formation workflows, a virtual mailroom with envelope scanning, a personalized compliance calendar, billing, and account management. The company integrates with Stripe for payments, Xero/QuickBooks/Zoho Books for accounting, and Mercury and Lili for U.S. business bank account onboarding. Distribution is anchored by an SEO-led content marketing engine, organic social presence across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn, and a formal affiliate program; customer support and sales are delivered by a multicultural team spread across six countries with in-country phone coverage in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual subscriptions, supplemented by add-on professional services such as catch-up bookkeeping, additional state filings, IRS form filings, amendments, company dissolution, mail forwarding, and audit support, plus pass-through state and government fees. The company reports a 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating based on more than 700 reviews and bundles an exclusive perks program offering over $200,000 in credits from partners including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Notion, Brex, Stripe, Slack, Salesforce, and Gusto. Globalfy is structured as two Florida LLCs (Globalfy, LLC and Globalfy Business Services, LLC), has 51–100 employees, and has raised only $100,000 from Google for Startups to date, indicating a largely bootstrapped operating model.

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Deel: Deel is a global HR and payroll platform enabling companies to hire and pay international team members compliantly. It is adjacent rather than directly competitive, but its international-founder customer base overlaps with Globalfy's and partnership potential exists.
• Multiplier: Multiplier is a global employment and business-operations platform that helps companies hire internationally and manage entities across borders. It is an adjacent enabler for the same international-founder customer base, addressing payroll/contractor rather than formation/compliance.

Broad incumbents

• LegalZoom: LegalZoom is a publicly recognized broad legal-services platform offering LLC/Corp formation, registered agent, and tax-adjacent services. It overlaps with Globalfy at the formation and registered-agent layers, but lacks Globalfy's non-resident specialization and bundled back-office.
• Swyft Filings: Swyft Filings is an online formation and compliance provider that competes in the same SMB formation category as Globalfy. While less specialized for non-residents, it occupies similar SEO real estate and offers comparable registered-agent services.
• Northwest Registered Agent: Northwest is a long-standing registered agent and formation provider with strong privacy positioning. It serves both residents and non-residents and competes with Globalfy's registered-agent and compliance features, though without a cross-border-specialized front-end.
• ZenBusiness: ZenBusiness is a well-funded, broad-market LLC formation and compliance provider serving primarily U.S.-resident small businesses. It competes on price for formation and ongoing registered-agent/renewal services, offering overlapping but more generalist capabilities.

Direct peers

• Doola: Doola is a direct competitor offering U.S. company formation, EIN, banking, tax, and accounting services specifically for international founders. It targets an overlapping customer base (non-resident SaaS founders and e-commerce sellers) with comparable subscription pricing.
• Firstbase: Firstbase is a venture-backed platform purpose-built for non-resident founders to form and operate U.S. companies. It is the closest direct competitor to Globalfy, offering LLC/Corp formation, EIN, registered agent, virtual address, and back-office services with a similar self-serve + concierge model.
• Bizee (formerly Incfile): Bizee is a mass-market LLC formation service that competes on price for entry-level U.S. company formation. While not exclusively focused on non-residents, it overlaps with Globalfy's Starter-tier offering and ranks heavily on the same SEO keywords.
• Inc Authority: Inc Authority provides free LLC formation (charging only state fees) plus paid registered-agent and compliance upsells. It competes with Globalfy's Starter plan on price-sensitive international customers searching for low-cost formation entry points.
