Fraudulently poses as a government…
Fraudulently poses as a government mailing. If you are unfortunate enough to fall for it, your annual business filing of $15 per business will cost you an additional $160. Its par for the course that they flood Trustpilot with 5 star reviews to pretend to be a legitimate company.

We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way. After reviewing our records, we were unable to locate any customer account associated with the name used in this review.
Business Filing is a legitimate private filing service that assists business owners with annual reports, business renewals, document preparation, reminder services, and ongoing business support. We are not affiliated with any government agency, and we do not represent ourselves as a Secretary of State office.
Our mailed notices are sent to businesses that appear to have upcoming filing deadlines and are intended to provide business owners with the option to either use our professional filing service or file directly with their state on their own. Our mailers clearly disclose that we are a private filing service, identify our company by name, separately disclose both our service fee and the applicable state fee, and provide the direct government filing website for customers who prefer to file independently. Our notices also state that if a filing has already been completed, the recipient should disregard the notice, as mailing and state processing times can overlap.
Many business owners choose to use professional filing services like ours for convenience, reminders, filing assistance, and ongoing support, while others prefer to complete filings themselves. We respect both choices and strive to provide transparent communication regarding the services we offer. We also appreciate feedback from all customers and are proud of the experiences voluntarily shared by businesses that have used our services.

Please don't fall for this scam :(
Sent me an email threatening my business would be dissolved or fined $500/day if I didn't file through their provided link. This email came during my filing month and I had previously received notice from the Secretary of State that it was time...so I (unfortunately) did not pay close enough attention to WHO this threatening email was from. Although it appears to be from a .org email, it is in fact a predatory third-party company collecting insane amounts of money ($150!!!) to do what I can do in 5 minutes FOR FREE through the state of Idaho. Ugh. Lesson learned, but I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General in Idaho.
Also, after reading their responses to other 1 star reviews...THEY ARE WELL AWARE WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS A SCAM!! All of the reviews above 1 star are obviously fake profiles with AI-generated anecdotes about how "patient" and "kind" the people at this company are. GROSS!!

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify a few points regarding your experience.
After reviewing your account, we confirmed that our company successfully completed your annual report filing previously and that you had enrolled in optional renewal services at that time. We also reviewed the communications associated with your account and were unable to locate any message from our company stating that your business would be fined “$500 per day” if you did not file through our link. That statement does not reflect our renewal communications and may have been conflated with communications from another company.
Business Filing is an independent professional filing service that assists business owners with annual reports, renewals, document preparation, reminder services, and ongoing business support. We are not affiliated with any government agency, and our communications, website disclosures, service fees, and renewal terms are clearly identified throughout our materials. Business owners are always free to file directly with their state on their own if they prefer.
Like many professional service providers, we charge service fees for the convenience, support, processing, reminders, and filing assistance we provide. Some business owners choose to use those services, while others prefer to file independently, and we respect both choices.
When you contacted our customer support team in January requesting cancellation of your renewal services, your subscription was canceled promptly by our representative as requested.
We also take accusations regarding fake reviews seriously. We are proud of the feedback voluntarily shared by customers who have used our services and strive to provide responsive, professional customer support to every business owner we assist.

Ripoff website
Ripoff website. They sent me mail to my home address for business filing. I knew it was coming up so I thought nothing of it until I saw the price went up by more than 2 times compared to last year. They're basically soliciting business owners close to renewing their filing and redirecting them to their scummy website instead of the actual state website where it will take you the same amount of time and with less than half the price to do what they claim to do for you.
