Start Your LLC with ZenBusinessFrequently Asked Questions
Does ZenBusiness replace Webflow?
Not for everyone. ZenBusiness includes a website builder that is designed for small business owners who need a professional web presence alongside LLC formation, compliance, and business operations. If you need advanced design capabilities, custom animations, or a powerful CMS, Webflow is the better tool for that specific job. But if you're a new business owner who needs formation + a simple website, ZenBusiness covers both in one platform.
Can I use ZenBusiness and Webflow together?
Yes. You could form your LLC with ZenBusiness (getting compliance, banking, bookkeeping, and Velo AI) and build your website separately with Webflow. This makes sense if you have specific design needs that go beyond what ZenBusiness's built-in website builder offers.
Does ZenBusiness offer a website builder as powerful as Webflow?
No — and it's not trying to. ZenBusiness's website builder is designed for non-technical business owners who need a clean, professional site without design experience. Webflow is a professional-grade design tool for designers and developers. They serve very different audiences.
Does ZenBusiness include banking and bookkeeping?
Yes. ZenBusiness includes Money Pro — a native bookkeeping and banking app available for all plans at $30/mo. Money Pro covers invoicing, expense tracking, payment management, and tax tools, with banking built directly into the platform so your accounts sync automatically with your bookkeeping.
What is Velo by ZenBusiness?
Velo is ZenBusiness's AI business assistant, purpose-built for small business owners and trained on ZenBusiness customer data and small business operations. Unlike general-purpose AI tools, Velo guides you through formation, compliance, banking setup, and day-to-day business decisions — all inside the ZenBusiness platform.
