Editorial and Affiliate Disclosure
LexiState publishes state-backed business formation and tax content, and some commercial pages may also include provider recommendations. This page explains how those commercial links work and how they are separated from official-source research.
How commercial links work
Some commercial pages may include partner links. If you choose a provider through one of those links, LexiState may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. When no partner relationship is active, the site links directly to the provider's official page instead.
How we separate sources from CTAs
Official source citations remain direct links to state agencies or vendor source pages. Commercial call-to-action cards are separate. That separation is intentional: source references are there for verification, while CTA cards are there for shopping or vendor evaluation.
How vendors are evaluated
Recommendations are based on state relevance, workflow fit, and facts confirmed against official vendor pages. A commercial relationship does not make a provider a fit for every reader. On business-formation topics especially, the state filing office remains the source of truth.
Link attributes and current practice
When a partner link is active, LexiState marks it as a sponsored outbound link and keeps the disclosure close to the content. That aligns with common FTC disclosure expectations and search-engine guidance for paid or commercial outbound links.
