Analysis
Websites and promotional materials in English directed towards entrepreneurs typically do not utilize the technical language of filings, but rather use the less technical word registration. For example, the online entity registration services RocketLawyer and LegalZoom in their promotional materials refer to registering a business. However, the actual business law services and activities will nonetheless be described using the word “filing”.
