If you are not satisfied with our service please contact our customer service department at 800-981-7183. If you are seeking a stronger guarantee it is recommended that you contact an attorney.

If an order is cancelled after payment has been taken by BizFilings but before a preliminary name check has been completed, BizFilings will refund the total order amount less a $50 processing fee. If the order is cancelled after the preliminary name check has been completed but before the formation documents have been sent to state for processing, BizFilings will refund the total amount of the order less a $75 processing fee provided that the formation document is not already filed with the state. Money paid to BizFilings that has already been paid to the state for filing fees or to suppliers is not refundable.

Initial / Annual Report Orders

BizFilings’ Annual Report/Statement Filing System is designed to allow BizFilings to file the Annual Report/Annual Statement for your business. By clicking on the submit button you are authorizing BizFilings to act as your agent to complete and submit this report filing. BizFilings’ fee for this service is $30.00 plus the amount of tax due, as specified by the state.

BizFilings guarantees that your Annual Report/Statement will be paid on time if you select to use our service, are in good standing, and BizFilings receives payment prior to our specified payment deadline.

BizFilings does not provide tax advice, accounting services or federal or state income tax return filing services. Our service is designed for the Annual Report/Statement only and should not serve as a substitute for accounting advice from an accountant for your federal or state taxes.

If an order is cancelled after payment has been taken by BizFilings, but before any attempt is made to file your Initial or Annual Report, a full refund will be issued.  If we are unable to file your Initial or Annual Report due to your entity’s current status with the state, BizFilings will refund the total order amount less a $30.00 processing fee.

Service of Process (SOP)

As a part of our Going Green Initiative (to reduce paper waste in the workplace), all Service of Process (SOP) documents are sent to BizFilings' Registered Agent customers via email. It is the customer’s responsibility to keep a valid email on file with BizFilings in order to receive paperless SOPs. To opt out of paperless service, please contact our customer service team.  You will be responsible for the $16.95 shipping fee for each SOP served upon your company that is not delivered electronically.

Registered Agent Service Payment Terms

To ensure uninterrupted service, registered agent customers are automatically enrolled in BizFilings' autopay program. This program allows BizFilings to charge a credit card for renewal of the registered agent subscription service. The renewal charge is the current published rate for registered agent service for one year.

One month before the payment card is charged, BizFilings sends a reminder of the upcoming renewal. Recipients of the reminder can contact BizFilings to provide an alternative payment method. If BizFilings does not hear from the recipient before the renewal date, the registered agent subscription is auto-renewed for one year and the payment card is charged. In the event that BizFilings does not receive payment, they reserve the right to terminate registered agent service, which may cause a business to fall out of good standing with the state.

Returned Checks

A $25 fee will be added to all checks returned to BizFilings due to non-sufficient funds or closed accounts. In addition, a bank service fee will be charged on these checks.
