LegalZoom's stock has fallen 42.4% over the past six months to $6.31 per share, now trading at 4.9× forward EV/EBITDA. The online legal services platform, founded by lawyer Robert Shapiro, shows mixed signals for investors. Positively, LegalZoom's subscription units grew 12.5% annually over two years to 1.94 million, whilst average revenue per user surged 52.9% over the same period, indicating strong platform engagement and monetisation. However, the company's three-year revenue growth of 6.8% compounded annually lags behind the consumer internet sector. The combination of impressive user metrics alongside modest long-term revenue growth presents a nuanced investment case following the recent share price decline.

LegalZoom launches free ai-powered Grant Finder to help small businesses discover critical funding. New tool simplifies the search for business grants, helping entrepreneurs identify funding opportunities faster March 19, 2026 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - March 19, 2026 - LegalZoom.com, Inc. (Nasdaq: LZ), America's #1 online legal services company, today announced the launch of Grant Finder, an AI-powered tool that helps small business owners discover funding opportunities they may have otherwise missed. Access to capital remains one of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face today. While thousands of grants exist across government and corporate programs, finding relevant opportunities can take hours of manual research, often leading founders to outdated listings, irrelevant programs, and resources locked behind paywalls. LegalZoom's Grant Finder simplifies this process by helping entrepreneurs quickly identify grant programs tailored to their business - no sign-up or payment required. Users can simply describe their business and funding needs in natural language, and Grant Finder returns a curated list of opportunities matched to their company's industry, location, and other key characteristics. "Small business owners are launching at record rates, but they are doing so in an environment where access to capital is increasingly challenging and traditional funding tools are failing to keep pace," said Aaron Stibel, LegalZoom Chief Business Officer & Chief Customer Officer. "Grant Finder reflects our commitment to removing barriers to success by combining the power of AI with a genuinely free resource that helps entrepreneurs discover funding opportunities without taking on debt or giving up equity." The timing of the launch reflects a growing wave of entrepreneurship across the United States. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, non-seasonally adjusted new business applications reached 505,240 in February alone, about a 14 percent increase from the prior year, while LinkedIn reports that the number of people adding "Founder" to their profile has surged 69 percent over the last year. Despite this surge in entrepreneurial activity, access to funding remains a critical obstacle. Cash flow issues, including lack of funding, account for 82 percent of small business failures. LegalZoom's own data reveals that 63 percent of nonprofits formed through the platform cite fundraising help as their top need, with 39 percent identifying grant funding as a primary indicator of success. By combining advanced AI with a free, easy-to-use tool, LegalZoom's Grant Finder aims to help entrepreneurs spend less time searching for funding and more time building and growing their businesses. The launch marks another step in LegalZoom's broader mission to support entrepreneurs at every stage of their journey - from forming a business to navigating ongoing legal, compliance, and operational needs.
