      ****! I called my person dealing with everything when I received this from this company. DO NOT PAY THESE PEOPLE! THEY ARE SCAMMERS! I was lead to believe I had to pay for a letter of good standing and I don't because I already have one through my corporation which these people home in on new business filings and then say congrats on your non profit, yada, yada woof woof. to remain in good standing you have to pay us ****** for the letter you have 2 weeks to respond. Well this is a scam I am already in good standing with Florida and was informed by my attorney to throw this away. Please be aware and stay away, they use deceptive practices and you do not get your paperwork. Luckily I didn't fall for it. Sadly seems lots of people did.

      Good Evening,

        Our business does not scam individuals. We provide business document services for many new business owners. Our letters do state that you have to purchase through us to remain in good standing nor that you are required to pay us. In fact, our letters include a disclosure on every single letter explaining all of this. If you thoroughly read the letter, then you would've seen these details. Our services are optional and that is stated. If you utilized an attorney to start your business that is likely a service that you could've done yourself, yet you paid someone a much larger amount for the assistance. The documents we provide are legitimate and often save new business time and energy. Good luck on your new endeavors.
