    Total Scam. They fooled my bookkeeper of 14 years with their fake forms. They mail out official looking forms pretending to be from the State of California. They charge you 200 instead of $25.00 regular state fee.

    We are sorry you feel this way. Much of this information is simply false. All of our forms, are in fact actual forms; they are just our forms. However, we do not mail out any forms of any kind. We do not fool anyone nor pretend to be anyone or any other agency, state federal or otherwise. We are very transparent about who we are, and what we do. We are a service, and do charge for our service.

    I was trying to made my payment to Virginia State Corporation for Jennings Stained Glass Inc and this company got my money $175. I have tried to talk to someone about this problem, but all calls are going to voicemail. do not know why this page is linked to the state website.

    We are not linked in any way to any state website. We are a business administration service that offers business filings as part of our service. It seems we have finally gotten in touch with you and resolved your issue. We thank you for your feedback, and update to your complaint.

    It is a scam. They add affiliated links above the real government websites thinking you are filling with the government. They say they offer refunds within 24 hours but then don't do it. They stole my money.

    Hello, Looking at this account, it looks like you placed an order with our company on Nov 3 both for a renewal of your business, as well as a subscription to do so automatically in subsequent years, received confirmation that the order was complete on November 4, and you requested a refund late on November 5. After speaking with you, we did refund half of your fees, and we did renew your business with the state exactly as you requested. We do not have any links on any government websites, unless those websites are selling ad space, and our ad showed up in a general purchase of display ads. to our knowledge, no government sites do this. No money was stolen. you paid for a service, received the service requested, then wanted your money back including the fees we paid to the state on your behalf and at your request. Unfortunately, we are not able to retrieve that money from the state, and therefor cannot refund it to you. However, again, your business is in good standing for another year as we did perform the service you requested.

    BEWARE...Very mis-leading, or downright deceitful. I'm "usually" pretty good at recognizing a scam but they got me with their notice on filing a Business Annual Report form for $225. Stupid me but I thought I was actually dealing with a legit NJ State site. Then, they immediately try to follow-up with a time-sensitive filing for your BOI report...which is free to file on the actual NJ portal. Shame on me!

    We apologize for you feeling misled. We are a legitimate filing service and do charge a fee for our services. We in no way intimate that we are affiliated with any state, and say so expressly on every page of our site, as well as the terms of service that are required to be agreed to in order to submit an order with us. We do also follow up with all of our customers about the required BOI reporting, and offer our services to assist. that cannot be done through New Jersey site, it is a federal filing of which most business owners are not even aware. It looks as if we completed your order exactly as you requested, that your business is in good standing for the report we filed and paid for, and have received no contact from you regarding our service. We are happy to work with our customers given the opportunity, but we have to assume that by placing an order, a customer wants us to provide the service we promise.

    We are certainly confused as to your position here. We filed this business back in December, sent confirmation that it was completed, just as you requested, and have not had any contact since. Was there a problem? Please contact our customer support if we did not follow your direction.

    These guys are super deceitful. Don't fall for it. This happened to me as well. I went to file an annual LLC report online in WA and their site pops up before the official WA site. I stupidly clicked, filled out the firm data and was charged $250 to include a BOI application. I still had to file my WA annual report. that report was $70.00. I hope this will help someone else. Bottom line, don't be in a rush to get these reports done....

    We would appreciate if you would update this review as we have resolved this matter with you, refunded your fees other than the BOI fee which you chose to still have us file. We are always happy to work with customers given the chance, and are always up front about our service and pricing.

    I am so sorry to say I am yet another victim same exact thing I am also disputing charges, they claim I had a late fee for LLC, and boi, charged me 500.00 and only sent them 280.00, which isn't even what I owed. I was on the secretary of state web site and these guys just popped up said this is what you owe so I paid it . Be ashamed

    Hello, It seems our customer support has contacted you a number of times concerning this matter. As explained, via email, phone and on our site to begin with, we are a privately owned company offering various business services, including report filing. you contracted us to perform a service, paid an agreed upon fee, and we performed the service. you were required to choose the state in which you were registered, actively marked several affirmations that you had read and agreed to our various terms, and that you were authorizing payment for this service. We cannot be more clear.

    B.S. Their response below is that they do not contact a business that has not done business with them before. That is a bold faced lie! I re-registered my business like I always do, with the state. The next day I started getting calls, emails and texts saying additional information was needed in order to complete my registration. It is a scam! They even lied in an email saying it was a new law that additional information was required. I contacted the CCB who said I was re-registered, no additional information was needed and that it was a scam and do not contact them.

    This is simply untrue. You came to our site and submitted an application for an annual report, and added on the newly required BOI report filing. Only at that point did we start to contact you. We initiated no contact until we received that order from you. The information you provided shows a business that is in fact inactive for failure to file the report. We are not sure who the CCB is, but the state dissolved this business in June of 2023, over a year ago, and it is still in inactive status. We are happy to help with this, and have a few different options that will likely save you time and money, which is our entire purpose. As far as the new law is concerned, congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act in 2021, and it took effect January 1 of 2024. this new law does in fact require that you submit certain information to the federal government, which was explained in your application process, and offered as an option that you chose to have us complete. If that report is not submitted by end of 2024, you face fines of up to $591/day of non-compliance as well as additional fines and possible jail time. We do require some additional information in your case to submit that required filing. We do not say this to scare you, but to inform you that this a reality. For those reasons, we contacted you to ensure that you are compliant both at the state and federal levels. Im sorry you are so confused, but we are happy to help you through these processes that are quite confusing. In the mean time, we have refunded your fees. Thank you

    Absolutely NOT true. I never contacted your company. I renewed my business as I always do, through the states website as stated previously. Your company apparently monitors business filings as they are required and your company has come up with a scam (like other companies) to try and dupe business owners. I am in contact with the State of Oregon Secretary of States office and have shared all of the communications that your company has sent. Especially the email where you said my payment was refunded due to no further information which included the correct last 4 numbers of the credit card used. It was not refunded and my business has been reinstated. You are a scammer and I hope you are stopped. Get a real job like the rest of us.

    This is a "legal" scam but a scam no less! They look up your public business records on a state government website, then send you a message saying it is time to file your yearly report. Since they have all the basic information about my business name, filing date, etc., it seems like it is coming from the state department of financial institutions. The yearly report is a few basic questions about your business and takes about 10 minutes to complete, start to finish. If you do this through the state government website, it costs $25. If you file with this company, they charge $150! They have refused to provide a refund. I have filed a dispute with my credit card company.

    Hello, and thank you for your feedback. Unfortunately, the assertions you have made are simply inaccurate. We do not contact any business that has not done business with us in the past and specifically requested that we notify them of important dates and deadlines concerning their business. You requested that we file your 2023 report in August of last year, and specifically requested that we email you with updates concerning your business. You are under no obligation to use our service, and we do not in any way "seem" like we are the "state department of financial institutions". If fact, we say on every page of our site that we are a privately owned company, as well as in our terms and conditions that you also affirmatively marked that you had read and to which you agreed. We are a service. We charge for our services. The vast majority of our customers are very pleased with our service, and happy to pay our fees. Unfortunately, once we have submitted a filing, it is public record, and cannot be "undone", and is therefor not eligible for a refund.

    It is laughable that this company had the nerve to respond to me saying my allegations are inaccurate. If you look at all of the reviews for this company, they all say the same thing that I did! They all use words like: MISLEADING, THOUGHT IT WAS A GOV'T WEBSITE, REDIRECTED TO THIS SITE, FRAUDULENT, UNETHICAL, and UNPROFESSIONAL, etc! Yes, I used their service in 2023 like they said because I thought it was legitimate then. It was not until now, that I realized how much I was overcharged for this simple renewal process. I won't fall for it again. I see that one person got a refund but the rest of us are left with paying up to 6X the actual cost for this scam. I am still hoping my credit card comapny will back my dispute.

    Business Filings attempted to charge $239 for the initial LLC filing, and an additional $298 that was not included in the initial invoice information. The service only costs $40 through the state of KY. I initiated the process through the state government website- and somehow was redirected. Total scammers. Buyer beware!
