What is Administry?
Administry is a business operations platform that handles formation, filings, accounting, and compliance for California small businesses — so you don't have to.
The Short Version
Administry is a business operations platform built for California small businesses, freelancers, and entrepreneurs. We handle the back-office work that keeps your business legally compliant and financially organized — from the day you form your company through every year it operates.
Think of us as your outsourced business operations team: part registered agent, part bookkeeper, part filing service, part operations stack.
What Administry Is (and Isn't)
Administry is not a DIY filing tool or a self-service portal that makes you do the work with better software. We actually do the work.
When you sign up, you get:
- A team that handles your California business filings
- Automated accounting categorization tied to your real bank accounts
- A registered agent address for your official state correspondence
- A document vault where all your important records live, organized and searchable
- Compliance reminders and automatic action on deadlines you'd otherwise miss
What we're not: We're not a law firm, a CPA firm, or a replacement for a tax preparer. We handle operational and administrative work, not legal advice or tax strategy.
Who Administry Is For
Administry is built for:
- Freelancers and solopreneurs who want to legitimize their business without drowning in paperwork
- Early-stage startups that need a real back-office before they can afford to hire one
- Small business owners in California — especially in Los Angeles County — dealing with LLC filings, DBA registrations, and annual compliance
- Service businesses (contractors, consultants, agencies, studios) that invoice clients and need clean records
If you're the kind of person who keeps postponing the "I'll deal with the business stuff later" list, Administry is for you.
The Platform Areas
Administry covers six major operational areas:
| Area | What We Handle |
|---|---|
| Formation | California LLC, Corporation, and sole proprietorship setup |
| DBA / FBN Filings | Fictitious business name registration across California counties |
| Accounting | Chart of accounts, transaction categorization, bank statement processing |
| Compliance | Registered agent service, Statement of Information, annual reports |
| Operations | Invoicing, appointments, document vault, business phone |
| Brand & Marketing | Business identity, email marketing setup |
Why Administry Exists
Starting a business in California means navigating a maze of county clerks, the Secretary of State, the Franchise Tax Board, and local city halls — and that's before you've made a single dollar. Keeping a business in good standing means remembering filing deadlines, managing registered agent requirements, and maintaining organized financial records.
Most small business owners either pay thousands to professionals they outgrow, or muddle through alone and fall out of compliance. Administry exists in the middle: a service that's actually affordable and does the work for you.
The goal is simple: you run your business, Administry runs your operations.
