About

My name is Gautino. I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2008, and I’m an information systems engineer. Over eighteen years, I’ve set up several companies, both locally and abroad, including several US LLCs, so I could work freely from wherever I want. I’ve also learned, often the hard way, what it costs to rely on the wrong tools: a bank that blocks a wire transfer, a business address provider that loses official mail, invoicing software that isn’t compliant.

Biz Deals Corner is the site I wish I could have read when I was starting out. Here I compare the tools and providers I’ve used or evaluated for my own businesses: company formation, business addresses, online banks, payments, invoicing, automation.

My Method

  1. I start from my own use. Every comparison answers a question I asked myself for one of my companies.
  2. I go to the source. Official texts, terms and conditions, price lists, and the websites of the relevant authorities (IRS, secretaries of state, tax authorities), not secondhand summaries.
  3. The total cost, not the advertised price. Setup fees, annual fees, hidden fees, exit costs.
  4. When I haven’t used a service myself, I say so, and I then rely on its terms, its pricing, and verified reviews.
  5. This site is not legal or tax advice. Every situation is different; for a binding decision, consult a licensed professional in your country.

How I Make Money

Some links are affiliate links (Awin, iPostal1, and other providers): if you sign up through them, I earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That doesn’t change my rankings or my opinions. I never publish sponsored content without disclosing it.
